There are 43 instances of posix shell tests and 35 instances of bash. To
give us a single consistent language for testing in, replace
all #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash. Common sources that are included in both
different shells will now work as expected. And we no longer have to fix
up bashisms that appear to work when someone's system has sh symlinked
to bash, but don't work on other systems that have both shells
installed.
Although we could have chosen sh, it's not backwards compatible so it
wouldn't be possible to bulk convert without re-writing the existing
bash tests.
Choosing bash also gives us some nicer features including 'local'
variable definitions and regexes in if statements that are already
widely used in the tests.
It's not expected that there are any users with only sh available due to
the large number of bash tests that exist.

perf test -vv Symbols is used to indentify symbols within the perf
binary. Add the -F flag so that the test command doesn't fork the test
before running. This removes a little overhead.

Some shell tests depend on finding symbols for perf itself, and fail if
perf has been stripped and no debug object is available. Add helper
functions to check if perf has a needed symbol. This is preparation for
amending the tests themselves to be skipped if a needed symbol is not
found.
The functions make use of the "Symbols" test which reads and checks symbols
from a dso, perf itself by default. Note the "Symbols" test will find
symbols using the same method as other perf tests, including, for example,
looking in the buildid cache.
An alternative would be to prevent the needed symbols from being stripped,
which seems to work with gcc's externally_visible attribute, but that
attribute is not supported by clang.
Another alternative would be to use option -Wl,-E (which is already used
when perf is built with perl support) which causes the linker to add all
(global) symbols to the dynamic symbol table. Then the required symbols
need only be made global in scope to avoid being strippable. However that
goes beyond what is needed.
