perf/x86/intel: Add Haswell PEBS record support
Add support for the Haswell extended (fmt2) PEBS format.
It has a superset of the nhm (fmt1) PEBS fields, but has a
longer record so we need to adjust the code paths.
The main advantage is the new "EventingRip" support which
directly gives the instruction, not off-by-one instruction. So
with precise == 2 we use that directly and don't try to use LBRs
and walking basic blocks. This lowers the overhead of using
precise significantly.
Some other features are added in later patches.
