perf header: Support num and width of branch counters

Browse source

To support the branch counters feature, the information of the maximum
number of supported counters and the width of the counters is exposed in
the sysfs caps folder. The perf tool can use the information to parse
the logged counters in each branch.

Store the information in the perf_env for later usage.
