  Python scripting can be used without libtraceevent. In particular,
scripting for Intel PT does not use tracepoints, and so does not need
libtraceevent support.

Alter the build and employ conditional compilation to allow Python
scripting without libtraceevent.

Example:

 Before:

    $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i python
    $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i libtraceevent
    $ perf record -e intel_pt//u uname
    Linux
    [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
    [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.031 MB perf.data ]
    $ perf script intel-pt-events.py |& head -3
      Error: Couldn't find script `intel-pt-events.py'

     See perf script -l for available scripts.

 After:

    $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i python
            libpython3.10.so.1.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.10.so.1.0 (0x00007f4bac400000)
    $ ldd `which perf` | grep -i libtraceevent
    $ perf script intel-pt-events.py | head
