Add AARCH64 specific support. This includes the following: - AARCH64 perf registers definition and hooks, - compat mode registers use, i.e. profiling a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system, - unwinding using the dwarf information from the .debug_frame section of the ELF binary; only in 64-bit mode, - unwinding using the frame pointer information; in 64-bit and compat modes.
ToDo: - add support for unwinding using the dwarf information in compat mode. This requires some changes to the libunwind code.
Tested on ARMv7 and ARMv8 platforms. The compat mode has been tested on ARMv8 using statically built 32-bit binaries.
