perf annotate: Introduce alternative method of keeping instructions table

Browse source

Some arches may want to dynamically populate the table using regular
expressions on the instruction names to associate them with a set of
parsing/formatting/etc functions (struct ins_ops), so provide a fallback
for when the ins__find() method fails.

That fall back will be able to resize the arch->instructions, setting
arch->nr_instructions appropriately, helper functions to associate an
ins_ops to an instruction name, growing the arch->instructions if needed
and resorting it are provided, all the arch specific callback needs to
do is to decide if the missing instruction should be added to
arch->instructions with a ins_ops association.
