[PATCH v4 2/3] perf tools: make the GTK4 report browser actually loadable at runtime

[Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com>]

perf report --gtk dlopen()s libperf-gtk.so and expects it to resolve
symbols back against the running perf binary (callchain_param,
symbol_conf, evsel__name, and friends all live in perf itself, not in
the plugin). Two things stood in the way of that after the GTK 2 to GTK
4 port:

perf never passed -rdynamic, so none of its own symbols were in its
dynamic symbol table for a dlopen()ed plugin to find at all. 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(), directly into libperf-gtk.so as an undefined symbol. The
only hashmap_find perf links against in the common case is libbpf's
internal one (tools/lib/bpf/hashmap.c), which libbpf compiles with
-fvisibility=hidden; a hidden symbol can never be exported to a
dlopen()ed plugin no matter what LDFLAGS perf itself gets. Move
annotated_source__hist_entry() out of the header and 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, instead of
reaching for hashmap_find directly.

With both fixes, a default 'make GTK4=1' build (libbpf statically
linked, as usual) can dlopen() libperf-gtk.so and open the report
browser without needing NO_LIBBPF=1 or manual LDFLAGS. Verified with
perf report --gtk against a real perf.data on an actual GTK4 desktop
session.
