perf powerpc: Process auxtrace events and display in 'perf report -D'

Add VPA DTL PMU auxtrace process function for "perf report -D".
The auxtrace event processing functions are defined in file
"util/powerpc-vpadtl.c".

Data structures used includes "struct powerpc_vpadtl_queue", "struct
powerpc_vpadtl" to store the auxtrace buffers in queue. Different
PERF_RECORD_XXX are generated during recording.

PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO is processed first since it is of type
perf_user_event_type and perf session event delivers
perf_session__process_user_event() first.

Define function powerpc_vpadtl_process_auxtrace_info() to handle the
processing of PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE_INFO records.

In this function, initialize the aux buffer queues using
auxtrace_queues__init().

Setup the required infrastructure for aux data processing.

The data is collected per CPU and auxtrace_queue is created for each
CPU.

Define powerpc_vpadtl_process_event() function to process
PERF_RECORD_AUXTRACE records.

In this, add the event to queue using auxtrace_queues__add_event() and
process the buffer in powerpc_vpadtl_dump_event().

The first entry in the buffer with timebase as zero has boot timebase
and frequency.

Remaining data is of format for "struct powerpc_vpadtl_entry".

Define the translation for dispatch_reasons and preempt_reasons, report
this when dump trace is invoked via powerpc_vpadtl_dump()

Sample output:

   ./perf record -a -e sched:*,vpa_dtl/dtl_all/ -c 1000000000 sleep 1
   [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
   [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.300 MB perf.data ]

   ./perf report -D
