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.
