When FEAT_SPE_PBT is implemented, the previous branch target address
(named as PBT) before the sampled operation, will be recorded.
This commit first introduces a 'prev_br_tgt' field in the record for
saving the PBT address in the decoder.
If the current operation is a branch instruction, by combining with PBT,
it can create a chain with two consecutive branches. As the branch
stack stores branches in descending order, meaning a newer branch is
stored in a lower entry in the stack. Arm SPE stores the latest branch
in the first entry of branch stack, and the previous branch coming from
PBT is stored into the second entry.
Otherwise, if current operation is not a branch, the last branch will be
saved for PBT only. PBT lacks associated information such as branch
source address, branch type, and events. The branch entry fills zeros
for the corresponding fields and only set its target address.

Unknown address packet indexes are not an error as the Arm architecture
can (and has with SPEv1.2) define new ones and implementation defined
ones are also allowed. The error message for every occurrence of the
packet is needlessly noisy as well. Change the message to print just
once for each unknown index.

When synthesizing data from SPE, augment the type with source information
for Arm Neoverse cores. The field is IMPLDEF but the Neoverse cores all use
the same encoding. I can't find encoding information for any other SPE
implementations to unify their choices with Arm's thus that is left for
future work.
This change populates the mem_lvl_num for Neoverse cores as well as the
deprecated mem_lvl namespace.

Use total latency info in the SPE counter packet as sample weight so
that we can see it in local_weight and (global) weight sort keys.
Maybe we can use PERF_SAMPLE_WEIGHT_STRUCT to support ins_lat as well
but I'm not sure which latency it matches. So just adding total latency
first.

In the Armv8 ARM (ARM DDI 0487F.c), chapter "D10.2.6 Events packet", it
describes the event bit is valid with specific payload requirement. For
example, the Last Level cache access event, the bit is defined as:
E[8], byte 1 bit [0], when SZ == 0b01 , when SZ == 0b10 ,
or when SZ == 0b11
It requires the payload size is at least 2 bytes, when byte 1 (start
counting from 0) is valid, E[8] (bit 0 in byte 1) can be used for LLC
access event type. For safety, the code checks the condition for
payload size firstly, if meet the requirement for payload size, then
continue to parse event type.
If review function arm_spe_get_payload(), it has used cast, so any bytes
beyond the valid size have been set to zeros.
For this reason, we don't need to check payload size anymore afterwards
when parse events, thus this patch removes payload size conditions.

To establish a valid address from the address packet payload and finally
the address value can be used for parsing data symbol in DSO, current
code uses 0xff to replace the tag in the top byte of data virtual
address.
So far the code only fixups top byte for the memory layouts with 4KB
pages, it misses to support memory layouts with 64KB pages.
This patch adds the conditions for checking bits [55:52] are 0xf, if
detects the pattern it will fill 0xff into the top byte of the address,
also adds comment to explain the fixing up.
