Introduce an interface to perf to resolve errno codes to their names. This is used by perf trace to display the errno name, for example, ENOENT, for an system call. The previous implementation used the errno_to_name() function from the audit library. With this change, a table of errno codes and their names are created for each architecture on which perf is supported (others can be easily added if necessary). The errno_to_name() function from the audit library is replaced with an arch-specific one, arch_errno_to_name(). The benefit is that perf trace does not longer have a direct dependency for the audit library and the perf trace output can be displayed across architectures. For example, collect trace output on s390 and display it on x86. The audit library dependency can be further reduced and completely removed for architectures that support system call tables in perf (see last commit).

Changes in v2: As the arch_errno_to_name() mapping is used by perf trace only, move all the scripts and generated files from tools/perf/util/ to the tools/perf/trace/beauty/{generated/} directories.
