[PATCH V2 2/3] perf symbols: improve abi compliance in arm mapping symbols handling

Both Arm and Aarch64 ELF ABI allow mapping symbols be in from
either "$d" or "$d.<any>". But current code that handles mapping
symbols only deals with the first, dollar character and a single
letter, case.

The patch adds handling of the second case with period
followed by any characters.
