[PATCH v3 3/5] perf tools: Use dynamic register set for Dwarf unwind

Architectures can detect availability of extra registers at
runtime so use this more complete set for unwinding. This
will include the VG register on arm64 in a later commit.

If the function isn't implemented then PERF_REGS_MASK is
returned and there is no change.
