perf: Support for Arm A32/T32 instruction sets in CoreSight trace

This patch adds support for generating instruction samples from trace of AArch32 programs using the A32 and T32 instruction sets.

T32 has variable 2 or 4 byte instruction size, so the conversion between addresses and instruction counts requires extra information from the trace decoder, requiring version 0.10.0 of OpenCSD. A check for the OpenCSD library version has been added to the feature check for OpenCSD.

This patch adds support for generating instruction samples from trace of AArch32 programs using the A32 and T32 instruction sets.

T32 has variable 2 or 4 byte instruction size, so the conversion between addresses and instruction counts requires extra information from the trace decoder, requiring version 0.10.0 of OpenCSD. A check for the OpenCSD library version has been added to the feature check for OpenCSD.
