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.
