perf tools: Add ARM Statistical Profiling Extensions (SPE) support

'perf record' and 'perf report --dump-raw-trace' supported in this
release.

Example usage:

 # perf record -e arm_spe/ts_enable=1,pa_enable=1/ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null count=10000
 # perf report --dump-raw-trace

Note that the perf.data file is portable, so the report can be run on
another architecture host if necessary.

Output will contain raw SPE data and its textual representation, such
as:

0x5c8 [0x30]: PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE size: 0x200000  offset: 0  ref: 0x1891ad0e  idx: 1  tid: 2227  cpu: 1

...

Other release notes:

- applies to acme's perf/{core,urgent} branches, likely elsewhere

- Report is self-contained within the tool.
  Record requires enabling the kernel SPE driver by
  setting CONFIG_ARM_SPE_PMU.

- The intel-bts implementation was used as a starting point; its
  min/default/max buffer sizes and power of 2 pages granularity need to be
  revisited for ARM SPE

- Recording across multiple SPE clusters/domains not supported

- Snapshot support (record -S), and conversion to native perf events
  (e.g., via 'perf inject --itrace'), are also not supported

- Technically both cs-etm and spe can be used simultaneously, however
  disabled for simplicity in this release
