[PATCH v9 14/16] perf arm-spe: Add more sub classes for operation packet

For the operation type packet payload with load/store class, it misses
to support these sub classes:

  - A load/store targeting the general-purpose registers;
  - A load/store targeting unspecified registers;
  - The ARMv8.4 nested virtualisation extension can redirect system
    register accesses to a memory page controlled by the hypervisor.
    The SPE profiling feature in newer implementations can tag those
    memory accesses accordingly.

Add the bit pattern describing load/store sub classes, so that the perf
tool can decode it properly.

Inspired by Andre Przywara, refined the commit log and code for more
clear description.
