[PATCH v1 5/6] perf tools: arm64: Decouple Libunwind register names from Perf

Dwarf register numbers and real register numbers on aarch64 are
equivalent. Remove the references to the register names from
Libunwind so that new registers are supported without having to
add build time feature checks for each new register.

The unwinder won't ask for a register that it doesn't know about
and Perf will already report an error for an unknown or unrecorded
register in the perf_reg_value() function so extra validation
isn't needed.

After this change the new VG register can be read by libunwind.
