perf trace: Improve the error messages

Currently, execution of 'perf trace' reports the following cryptic
message to the user:

$ perf trace
Couldn't read the raw_syscalls tracepoints information!

Typically this happens because the user does not have permissions to
read the debugfs filesystem. Also handle the case when the kernel was
not compiled with debugfs support or when it isn't mounted.

Now, the tool prints detailed error messages:

$ perf trace
Error:	Unable to find debugfs
Hint:	Was your kernel was compiled with debugfs support?
Hint:	Is the debugfs filesystem mounted?
Hint:	Try 'sudo mount -t debugfs nodev /sys/kernel/debug'

$ perf trace
Error:	No permissions to read /sys/kernel/debug//tracing/events/raw_syscalls
Hint:	Try 'sudo mount -o remount,mode=755 /sys/kernel/debug/'

[ Added ready to use commands to fix the issues as extra hints, use the
  current debugfs mount point when reporting permission error, use
  strerror_r instead of the deprecated sys_errlist, as reported by David Ahern ]
