[PATCH v2 3/4] coresight: etm4x: Report the external outputs the PMU counts

Some CPUs count the trace unit's external outputs as the PMU common
events TRCEXTOUT0-3 (0x4010-0x4013), which lets a configuration drive a
PMU event from trace unit events. Other CPUs, Neoverse N1 for example,
have no such events, and a feature relying on them would silently do
nothing there.

Detect at probe, on the trace unit's CPU, which outputs the PMU counts:
the trace unit has an external output for each of its events
(TRCIDR0.NUMEVENT), and from PMUv3p1, PMCEID0_EL0[63:32] reports which of
the common events 0x4000-0x401f are implemented. Per the ETE
specification, an implemented TRCEXTOUTn event counts external output n;
only whether that output is also an external input is IMPLEMENTATION
DEFINED.

Add a capability match flag for each output,
CS_CFG_MATCH_CAP_PMU_EXTOUT(n), set it on ETMs whose PMU counts that
output, and show it in the feature's configfs 'matches' attribute. With
capabilities matched separately from the device class, a feature that
requires one only loads on those ETMs.
