Do we support configid for ETM3?

It is good to give a bit information why only these attributes
supported, e.g.,

  /*
   * ETM3 only support subset attributes (see ETM3X_SUPPORTED_OPTIONS),
   * keep 'sinkid' attr for specifying sink ID.
   */

Two side topics but not issues caused this patch:

- Since CTXTID/CTXTID2 is only used for ETM4x, we can remove "#if
  IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_CORESIGHT_SOURCE_ETM4X)" from the
  format_attr_contextid_show() function.

- etm_parse_event_config() does not check attr->config3, thus user
  sets 'cc_threshold' it will slip without any error report.

Thanks,
Leo
