[PATCH V2] tools/perf/tests/shell/base_probe: Enhance print_overall_results to print summary information

Currently print_overall_results prints the number of
fails in the summary, example from base_probe tests in
testsuite_probe:

 ## [ FAIL ] ## perf_probe :: test_invalid_options SUMMARY ::
	11 failures found

test_invalid_options contains multiple tests and out
of that 11 failed. Sometimes it could happen that it
is due to missing dependency in the build or environment
dependency.

Example, perf probe -L requires DWARF enabled. otherwise
it fails as below:
 ./perf probe -L
  Error: switch `L' is not available because NO_DWARF=1

"-L" is tested as one of the option in :
   for opt in '-a' '-d' '-L' '-V'; do
   <<perf probe test>>
   print_results $PERF_EXIT_CODE $CHECK_EXIT_CODE "missing argument
	for $opt"

Here -a and -d doesn't require DWARF. Similarly there
are few other tests requiring DWARF. To hint the user that
missing dwarf could be one issue, update print_overall_results
to print a comment string along with summary hinting the possible
cause. Update test_invalid_options.sh and test_line_semantics.sh
to pass the info about dwarf requirement since these tests
failed when perf is built without DWARF. Use the check for
presence of dwarf with "perf check feature" and append the
hint message based on the result.

With the change:
 ## [ FAIL ] ## perf_probe :: test_invalid_options SUMMARY ::
 11 failures found :: Some of the tests need DWARF to run

Changelog:
 v1 -> v2:
 Check presence of dwarf using "perf check feature". Add
 failure hint message for dwarf based on this check
