libperf: Add reference count checking macros

The macros serve as a way to debug use of a reference counted struct.

The macros add a memory allocated pointer that is interposed between
the reference counted original struct at a get and freed by a put.

The pointer replaces the original struct, so use of the struct name
via APIs remains unchanged.

+ * Shared reference count checking macros.

+ * Reference count checking is an approach to sanitizing the use of reference
+ * counted structs. It leverages address and leak sanitizers to make sure gets
+ * are paired with a put. Reference count checking adds a malloc-ed layer of
+ * indirection on a get, and frees it on a put. A missed put will be reported as
+ * a memory leak. A double put will be reported as a double free. Accessing
+ * after a put will cause a use-after-free and/or a segfault.
