rtla: add recipe for real-time linux analysis tool
rtla source code is present in the kernel source tree at tools/tracing/rtla.
There is another build option for rtla to enable bpf bindings, this was
not a quick one to get working and left as a future improvement.

Makefile for rtla has evolved in newer kernels (v6.9). Some fixes needed for
support with older kernels. This commit was tested against 6.18 and 6.8.

Also add rtla to packagegroup-meta-oe-benchmarks.
