Description of problem: When perf isn't in $PATH, the "Start Recording" button in "File" > "Record Data" is disabled. This most frequently occurs because `perf` is not installed by default upon installation of Hotspot. Consequently, add `perf` as a recommended dependency. Version-release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.1-5.fc42 How reproducible: Consistent Steps to reproduce: 1. Remove `perf` if present. 2. Install Hotspot. 3. Select "File". 4. Select "Record Data". 5. Attempt to press "Start Recording". Actual results: The button is greyed because `perf` is not installed. Expected results: `perf` should be a recommended dependency that is automatically installed upon installation of Hotspot. Additional info: Originally reported to https://github.com/KDAB/hotspot/issues/711#issuecomment-2834978531:~:text=We%20only%20support%20the%20hotspot%20appimage%20so%20we%20can't%20add%20perf%20as%20a%20dependency.
