perf tests bp_account: Add dedicated checking helper is_supported()

The arm architecture supports breakpoint accounting but it doesn't
support breakpoint overflow signal handling.  The current code uses the
same checking helper, thus it disables both testings (bp_account and
bp_signal) for arm platform.

For handling two testings separately, this patch adds a dedicated
checking helper is_supported() for breakpoint accounting testing, thus
it allows supporting breakpoint accounting testing on arm platform; the
old helper test__bp_signal_is_supported() is only used to checking for
breakpoint overflow signal testing.
