perf unwind arm64: Decouple Libunwind register names from Perf



DWARF register numbers and real register numbers on aarch64 are
equivalent. Remove the references to the register names from Libunwind
so that new registers are supported without having to add build time
feature checks for each new register.

The unwinder won't ask for a register that it doesn't know about and
Perf will already report an error for an unknown or unrecorded register
in the perf_reg_value() function so extra validation isn't needed.

After this change the new VG register can be read by libunwind.
