[PATCH 4.17 241/324] perf tools: Use python-config --includes rather than --cflags

[ Upstream commit 32aa928a7b817140c84987b726d5014911808fa4 ]

Builds started failing in Fedora on Python 3.7 with:

`.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' referenced in section
`.gnu.debuglto_.debug_macro' of
util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.o: defined in discarded
section

In Fedora, Python 3.7 added -flto to the list of --cflags and since it
was only applied to util/scripting-engines/trace-event-python.c and
scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.c, linking failed.

It's not the first time the addition of flags has broken builds: commit
c6707fdef7e2 ("perf tools: Fix up build in hardnened environments")
appears to have fixed a similar problem. "python-config --includes"
provides the proper -I flags and doesn't introduce additional CFLAGS.
