When building perf for arm64 I hit a warning (and be treated as an
error) like below:
aarch64-oe-linux-gcc -o .../scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.o -c -Wbad-function-cast \
... scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c

#define bool _Bool
Looks like the failure is caused by arm64 uapi/asm/sigcontext.h, which
includes linux/types.h while other archs not.
Current perl consider this problem:
http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/bd31be4baa3ee68abdb92c0db3200efe0fad903b
However there are users which use old version of perl.
This patch includes stdbool.h before Context.xs and define HAS_BOOL to
prevent perl'e headers define its own 'bool'. Code is learn from perl's
git tree.
