libbpf: Deprecate bpf_perf_event_read_simple() API

With perf_buffer__poll() and perf_buffer__consume() APIs available,
there is no reason to expose bpf_perf_event_read_simple() API to
users. If users need custom perf buffer, they could re-implement
the function.

Mark bpf_perf_event_read_simple() and move the logic to a new
static function so it can still be called by other functions in the
same file.
