perf/x86: Support ZMM sampling using sample_simd_vec_reg_* fields

Support sampling of ZMM registers via the sample_simd_vec_reg_* fields.

Each ZMM register consists of 8 u64 words. Current x86 hardware supports
up to 32 ZMM registers. For ZMM registers from ZMM0 to ZMM15, they are
assembled from three parts: XMM (the lower 2 u64 words),
YMMH (the middle 2 u64 words), and ZMMH (the upper 4 u64 words). The
perf_simd_reg_value() function is responsible for assembling these three
parts into a complete ZMM register for output to userspace.

For ZMM registers ZMM16 to ZMM31, each register can be read as a whole
and directly outputted to userspace.

Additionally, sample_simd_vec_reg_qwords should be set to 8 to indicate
ZMM sampling.

ZMM sampling will be enabled in a subsequent patch that sets
PERF_PMU_CAP_SIMD_REGS.
