Support probing on offline cross-architecture binary by adding getting
the target machine arch from ELF and choose correct register string for
the machine.
Here is an example:
-----
$ perf probe --vmlinux=./vmlinux-arm --definition 'do_sys_open $params'
p:probe/do_sys_open do_sys_open+0 dfd=%r5:s32 filename=%r1:u32 flags=%r6:s32 mode=%r3:u16
-----
Here, we can get probe/do_sys_open from above and append it to to the target
machine's tracing/kprobe_events file in the tracefs mountput, usually
/sys/kernel/debug/tracing/kprobe_events (or /sys/kernel/tracing/kprobe_events).

The perf userspace tool included some architecture specific code to map
registers from the DWARF register number into the names used by the regs
and stack access API.
This moves the architecture specific code out into a separate
arch/x86 directory along with the infrastructure required to use it.
