[PATCH v1 14/49] perf build: Make pylint build test opt-out (NO_PYLINT=1)

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

Commit 8a54784e708b ("perf build: Add pylint build tests") added a
compile-time pylint check for Python files in tools/perf, but left it
opt-in via PYLINT=1.

Now that pylint issues across tools/perf/python, tools/perf/pmu-events,
and tools/perf/tests/shell/lib have been cleaned up, enable the pylint
check by default when pylint is installed on the system, with an opt-out
via NO_PYLINT=1 (matching other perf build feature flags).

Configure PYTHONPATH in Makefile.perf so pylint resolves perf.pyi type
stubs and pmu-events modules, enable error and warning categories
(--disable=all --enable=E,W --disable=W0123,W0311,W0511,W0603,W0622,W0718)
appropriate for perf's standalone CLI and test scripts, and require
pylint >= 2.16.0 (skipping with a warning if an older version is
installed).
