tools/tracing: Use tools/build makefiles on latency-collector

Use tools/build/ makefiles to build latency-collector, inheriting
the benefits of it. For example: Before this patch, a missing
tracefs/traceevents headers will result in fail like this:

  ~/linux/tools/tracing/latency $ make
  cc -Wall -Wextra -g -O2  -o latency-collector latency-collector.c -lpthread
  latency-collector.c:26:10: fatal error: tracefs.h: No such file or directory
     26 | #include <tracefs.h>
        |          ^~~~~~~~~~~
  compilation terminated.
  make: *** [Makefile:14: latency-collector] Error 1

Which is not that helpful. After this change it reports:

  ~/linux/tools/tracing/latency# make

  Auto-detecting system features:
  ...                           libtraceevent: [ OFF ]
  ...                              libtracefs: [ OFF ]

  libtraceevent is missing. Please install libtraceevent-dev/libtraceevent-devel
  libtracefs is missing. Please install libtracefs-dev/libtracefs-devel
  Makefile.config:29: *** Please, check the errors above..  Stop.

This type of output is common across other tools in tools/ like perf
and objtool.
