Subject: [PATCH v3] perf auxtrace: Add auxtrace_synth_id_range_start() helper

To avoid hardcoding the offset value for synthetic event IDs 
in multiple auxtrace modules (arm-spe, cs-etm, intel-pt, etc.), 
and to improve code reusability, this patch unifies 
the handling of the ID offset via a dedicated helper function.

Hi Leo Yan, Adrian Hunter,

Thank you for your valuable comments. I have modified my code according to your suggestions.

Best regards,
Ze Tan

Changes in v3: 
 - Removed PERF_SYNTH_EVENT_ID_OFFSET from synthetic-events.h
 - Added AUXTRACE_SYNTH_EVENT_ID_OFFSET macro in auxtrace.c
 - Introduced auxtrace_synth_id_range_start() helper function in auxtrace.c 
   to unify ID calculation
 - Updated all auxtrace modules to use the new helper function

Changes in v2: 
 - Migrated the macro definitions to the synthetic-events.h file
 - Added modifications to other source files that use the offset value

v2:
 -patch: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20251017021540.45930-1-tanze@kylinos.cn/
