rtla/timerlat_hist: Use BPF to collect samples

Collect samples using BPF program instead of pulling them from tracefs.

If the osnoise:timerlat_sample tracepoint is unavailable or the BPF
program fails to load for whatever reason, rtla falls back to the old
implementation.

The collection of samples using the BPF program is fully self-contained
and requires no activity of the userspace part of rtla during the
measurement. Thus, instead of waking up every second to collect samples,
rtla simply sleeps until woken up by a signal or threshold overflow.
