perf tools: Fix the bash completion problem of 'perf --*'

The perf-completion.sh uses a predefined string '--help --version
--exec-path --html-path --paginate --no-pager --perf-dir --work-tree
--debugfs-dir' for the bash completion of 'perf --*', which has two
problems:

 Problem 1: If the options of perf are changed (see handle_options() in
 perf.c), the perf-completion.sh has to be changed at the same time. If
 not, the bash completion of 'perf --*' and the options which perf
 really supports will be inconsistent.

 Problem 2: When typing another single character after 'perf --', e.g.
 'h', and hit TAB key to get the bash completion of 'perf --h', the
 character 'h' disappears at once. This is not what we want, we wish the
 bash completion can return '--help --html-path' and then we can
 continue to choose one.

 To solve this problem, we add '--list-opts' to perf, which now supports
 'perf --list-opts' directly, and its result can be used in bash
 completion now.

Example:

 Before this patch:

 $ perf --h                 <-- hit TAB key after character 'h'
 $ perf --                  <-- 'h' disappears and no required result

 After this patch:

 $ perf --h                 <-- hit TAB key after character 'h'
 --help       --html-path   <-- the required result
