[PATCH v2] perf clang-format: Add a perf clang-format that overrides some kernel behaviors

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

In particular, header file ordering is an issue in the tools/perf
directory given the larger number of depended upon libraries.

The order of header file includes was proposed in:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-perf-users/CAP-5=fUitzKwJONTngiW17XkS7kVr2cDS4cDL_HccJKcnR2EgQ@mail.gmail.com/

Sorting headers is desirable to avoid issues like duplicate includes.
