tools build: Add 3-component logical version comparators

The next cset needs to compare if a flex version is greater or
equal/less than another, but since there is no canonical, generally
available way to compare versions in the command line (sort -V, yeah,
but...), just use awk to canonicalize the versions like is also done in
scripts/rust_is_available.sh.

There was a problem spotted in linux-next where a bashism, here
documents, aka the '<<<' stdin redirector, for strings to be used as the
stdin for awk. Use $(shell echo | awk ...) instead.

# 5c816641 10-Feb-2022 Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@kernel.org>

kbuild: replace $(if A,A,B) with $(or A,B)

$(or ...) is available since GNU Make 3.81, and useful to shorten the
code in some places.

Covert as follows:

$(if A,A,B) --> $(or A,B)

This patch also converts:

$(if A, A, B) --> $(or A, B)

Strictly speaking, the latter is not an equivalent conversion because
GNU Make keeps spaces after commas; if A is not empty, $(if A, A, B)
expands to " A", while $(or A, B) expands to "A".

Anyway, preceding spaces are not significant in the code hunks I touched.

tools: Move utilities.mak from perf to tools/scripts/

As it is used by several other tools, better move it outside tools/perf.
