perf: Fix mmap_page capabilities and docs
Complete the syscall-less self-profiling feature and address all complaints, namely: - capabilities, so we can detect what is actually available at runtime Add a capabilities field to perf_event_mmap_page to indicate what is actually available for use. - on x86: RDPMC weirdness due to being 40/48 bits and not sign-extending properly. - ABI documentation as to how all this stuff works. Also improve the documentation for the new features.
