perf test: Move attr files into shell directory where they are used

Now the attr tests are shell tests move the associated python and
configuration files. Update the installation build rules for the new
directories. Recycle the lib install rules for python files allowing
the explicit attr.py install line to be dropped.

+The struct perf_event_attr test (attr tests) support
+====================================================
+This testing support is embedded into perf directly and is governed
+by the PERF_TEST_ATTR environment variable and hook inside the
+sys_perf_event_open function.
+
+The general idea is to store 'struct perf_event_attr' details for
+each event created within single perf command. Each event details
+are stored into separate text file. Once perf command is finished
+these files are checked for values we expect for command.
+
+The attr tests consist of following parts:
+
+tests/attr.c
+------------
+This is the sys_perf_event_open hook implementation. The hook
+is triggered when the PERF_TEST_ATTR environment variable is
+defined. It must contain name of existing directory with access
+and write permissions.
+
+For each sys_perf_event_open call event details are stored in
+separate file. Besides 'struct perf_event_attr' values we also
+store 'fd' and 'group_fd' values to allow checking for groups.
+
+tests/attr.py
+-------------
+This is the python script that does all the hard work. It reads
+the test definition, executes it and checks results.
+
+tests/attr/
+-----------
+Directory containing all attr test definitions.
+Following tests are defined (with perf commands):
+
+  perf record kill                              (test-record-basic)
+  perf record -b kill                           (test-record-branch-any)
