SERVER-77605 introduced a patch parameter to skip compilation.

I've talked to the author of SERVER-77605, and they have a clever way to work around the evergreen limitations to skip tasks. Instead of skipping the compile task completely, the compile task downloads and reuploads the output of a different compilation task. This means the compilation can be skipped without reconfiguring the evergreen task dependencies.

We should look into implementing this for sys-perf since it would help to alleviate one of the common complaints about patches, which is that they can take very long.
