In order to support usersapce access, an event must be mmapped. While
there's already mmap support for evlist, the usecase is a bit different
than the self monitoring with userspace access. So let's add new
perf_evsel__mmap()/perf_evsel_munmap() functions to mmap/munmap an
evsel. This allows implementing userspace access as a fastpath for
perf_evsel__read().
The mmapped address is returned by perf_evsel__mmap_base() which
primarily for users/tests to check if userspace access is enabled.

Current libperf man pages mention file counting.c "coming with libperf package",
however, the file is missing. Add the file then.

Change the man page generation to asciidoc, because it's easier to use
and has been more commonly used in related projects. Remove the current
rst pages.
Add 3 man pages to have a base for more additions:
libperf.3 - overall description
libperf-counting.7 - counting basics explained on simple example
libperf-sampling.7 - sampling basics explained on simple example
The plan is to add more man pages to cover the basic API.
The build generates html and man pages:
$ cd tools/lib/perf/Documentation
$ make
ASCIIDOC libperf.xml
XMLTO libperf.3
ASCIIDOC libperf-counting.xml
XMLTO libperf-counting.7
ASCIIDOC libperf-sampling.xml
XMLTO libperf-sampling.7
ASCIIDOC libperf.html
ASCIIDOC libperf-counting.html
ASCIIDOC libperf-sampling.html
Add the following install targets:
install-man - man pages
install-html - html version of man pages
install-examples - examples mentioned in the man pages

Move libperf from its current location under tools/perf to a separate
directory under tools/lib/.
Also change various paths (mainly includes) to reflect the libperf move
to a separate directory and add a new directory under MANIFEST.
