perf stat: Support per-cluster aggregation



Some platforms have 'cluster' topology and CPUs in the cluster will
share resources like L3 Cache Tag (for HiSilicon Kunpeng SoC) or L2
cache (for Intel Jacobsville). Currently parsing and building cluster
topology have been supported since [1].

perf stat has already supported aggregation for other topologies like
die or socket, etc. It'll be useful to aggregate per-cluster to find
problems like L3T bandwidth contention.

This patch add support for "--per-cluster" option for per-cluster
aggregation. Also update the docs and related test. The output will
be like:

[root@localhost tmp]# perf stat -a -e LLC-load --per-cluster -- sleep 5

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

S56-D0-CLS158    4      1,321,521,570      LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS594    4        794,211,453      LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1030    4             41,623      LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1466    4             41,646      LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS1902    4             16,863      LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2338    4             15,721      LLC-load
S56-D0-CLS2774    4             22,671      LLC-load
[...]

On a legacy system without cluster or cluster support, the output will
be look like:
[root@localhost perf]# perf stat -a -e cycles --per-cluster -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

S56-D0-CLS0   64         18,011,485      cycles
S7182-D0-CLS0   64         16,548,835      cycles

Note that this patch doesn't mix the cluster information in the outputs
of --per-core to avoid breaking any tools/scripts using it.

Note that perf recently supports "--per-cache" aggregation, but it's not
the same with the cluster although cluster CPUs may share some cache
resources. For example on my machine all clusters within a die share the
same L3 cache:
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cache/index3/shared_cpu_list
0-31
$ cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology/cluster_cpus_list
0-3
