perf test buildid: Fix shell string substitutions

The perf test named “build id cache operations” skips with below error
on some distros:

  <<>>
   78: build id cache operations                                       :

  build id cache operations: Skip
  <<>>

The test script "tests/shell/buildid.sh" uses some of the string
substitution ways which are supported in bash, but not in "sh" or other
shells. Above error on line number 69 that reports "Bad substitution"
is:

  <<>>
  link=${build_id_dir}/.build-id/${id:0:2}/${id:2}
  <<>>

Here the way of getting first two characters from id ie, ${id:0:2} and
similarly expressions like ${id:2} is not recognised in "sh". So the
line errors and instead of hitting failure, the test gets skipped as
shown in logs.  So the syntax issue causes test not to be executed in
such cases. Similarly usage : "${@: -1}" [ to pick last argument passed
to a function] in “test_record” doesn’t work in all distros.

Fix this by using alternative way with shell substitution to pick
required characters from the string. Also fix the usage of “${@: -1}” to
work in all cases.

Another usage in “test_record” is:

  <<>>
  ${perf} record --buildid-all -o ${data} $@ &> ${log}
  <<>>

This causes the 'perf record' to start in background and Results in the
data file not being created by the time "check" function is invoked.
Below log shows 'perf record' result getting displayed after the call to
"check" function.

  <<>>

Fix this by redirecting output instead of using “&” which starts the
command in background.
