perf tools: make the GTK4 report browser actually loadable at runtime
perf report --gtk dlopen()s libperf-gtk.so, which expects to resolve
symbols back against the running perf binary (callchain_param,
symbol_conf, evsel__name, and friends live in perf, not the plugin).
Two things broke that after the GTK 4 port:
perf never passed -rdynamic, so none of its symbols were in its
dynamic symbol table for a dlopen()ed plugin to find. Add -rdynamic to
LDFLAGS when GTK4 support is enabled.
annotated_source__hist_entry() was a static inline in annotate.h, so
ui/gtk/annotate.c calling it pulled hashmap__find()'s expansion,
hashmap_find(), into libperf-gtk.so as an undefined symbol. The only
hashmap_find perf links against normally is libbpf's internal one
(tools/lib/bpf/hashmap.c), built with -fvisibility=hidden, so it can
never be exported to a dlopen()ed plugin regardless of LDFLAGS. Move
annotated_source__hist_entry() into annotate.c as an ordinary exported
function, so the plugin depends on it the same way it already depends
on evsel__group_desc() and friends.
With both fixes, a default 'make GTK4=1' build (libbpf statically
linked) can dlopen() libperf-gtk.so and open the report browser without
NO_LIBBPF=1 or manual LDFLAGS. Verified with perf report --gtk against
real perf.data on a GTK4 desktop.
