[PATCH 6/8] perf libunwind: arm64 pointer authentication

Make use of new changes in libunwind to decode a pointer which has a
pointer authentication code (PAC) in it.

Before this patch, perf is not able to produce stack traces where the
instruction addresses had PACs in them.

This commit has a dependency on a libunwind pull request:
