perf scripting perl: Force to use stdbool

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

In file included from .../usr/lib64/perl/5.14.3/CORE/perl.h:2464:0,
from Context.xs:23:
/.../usr/lib64/perl/5.14.3/CORE/handy.h:108:0: error: "bool" redefined [-Werror]
# define bool char

/.../usr/lib/aarch64-oe-linux/gcc/aarch64-oe-linux/4.9.2/include/stdbool.h:33:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
#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.
