perf report: Add 'simd' sort field

Add 'simd' sort field to visualize SIMD ops in 'perf report'.

Rows are labeled with the SIMD ISA, and the type of predicate (if any):

  - [p] partial predicate
  - [e] empty predicate (no elements in the vector being used)

Example with Arm SPE and SVE (Scalable Vector Extension):

  #include <arm_sve.h>

  double src[1025], dst[1025];

  int main(void) {
    svfloat64_t vc = svdup_f64(1);
    for(;;)
      for(int i = 0; i < 1025; i += svcntd())
      {
        svbool_t pg = svwhilelt_b64(i, 1025);
        svfloat64_t vsrc = svld1(pg, &src[i]);
        svfloat64_t vdst = svadd_x(pg, vsrc, vc);
        svst1(pg, &dst[i], vdst);
      }
    return 0;
  }

  ... compiled using "gcc-11 -march=armv8-a+sve -O3"

Profiling on a platform that implements FEAT_SVE and FEAT_SPEv1p1:

  $ perf record -e arm_spe_0// -- ./a.out
  $ perf report --itrace=i1i -s overhead,pid,simd,sym

  Overhead      Pid:Command   Simd     Symbol
  ........  ................  .......  ......................

    53.76%    10758:program            [.] main
    46.14%    10758:program   [.] SVE  [.] main
     0.09%    10758:program   [p] SVE  [.] main

The report shows 0.09% of the sampled SVE operations use partial
predicates due to src and dst arrays not being multiples of the vector
register lengths.
