Remove perf tool and standalone h5perf builds (#2619)
The small perf tool conflicts with the standard perf tool and is being
removed from all HDF5 releases.
Building h5perf in "standalone" mode (i.e., independently of the
library) has been broken for some time, so the build code for
that has also been removed.
