perf: Add ability to attach user stack dump to sample

Introducing PERF_SAMPLE_STACK_USER sample type bit to trigger the dump
of the user level stack on sample. The size of the dump is specified by
sample_stack_user value.

Being able to dump parts of the user stack, starting from the stack
pointer, will be useful to make a post mortem dwarf CFI based stack
unwinding.

Added HAVE_PERF_USER_STACK_DUMP config option to determine if the
architecture provides user stack dump on perf event samples.  This needs
access to the user stack pointer which is not unified across
architectures. Enabling this for x86 architecture.
