perf/arm-cmn: Revamp model detection

CMN implements a set of CoreSight-format peripheral ID registers which
in principle we should be able to use to identify the hardware. However
so far we have avoided trying to use the part number field since the
TRMs have all described it as "configuration dependent". It turns out,
though, that this is a quirk of the documentation generation process,
and in fact the part number should always be a stable well-defined field
which we can trust.

To that end, revamp our model detection to rely less on ACPI/DT, and
pave the way towards further using the hardware information as an
identifier for userspace jevent metrics. This includes renaming the
revision constants to maximise readability.
