To avoid installing header files needed by clang to disk (/usr/share/bcc), embed the files as strings inside the library and feed them to clang as memory buffers. The mechanism that we use to do this retains all of the existing features, as in one can still do `#include <bcc/helpers.h>`, even though it is redundant, and clang will pick up the embedded file.

Installing helpers.h, proto.h and stdarg.h into default location

and only depend on the presence of kernel headers in /lib/modules/
high-pri since it's a major road block for production deployment.
