Subject: [PATCH v2 06/14] perf mem: Support AUX trace

Perf memory profiling doesn't support aux trace data so the tool cannot
receive the synthesized samples from hardware tracing data.  On the
Arm64 platform, though it doesn't support PMU events for memory load and
store, but Armv8's SPE is a good candidate for memory profiling, the
hardware tracer can record memory accessing operations with physical
address and virtual address for different cache levels and it also stats
the memory operations for remote access and TLB.

To allow the perf memory tool to support AUX trace, this patches adds
the aux callbacks for session structure.  It passes the predefined
itrace option to ask the AUX trace decoder to generate memory samples.
This patch also invokes the standard API perf_event__process_attr() to
register sample IDs into evlist.
