Prior to these patches PERF_HAVE_DWARF_REGS indicated the presence of
dwarf-regs.c in the arch directory. dwarf-regs.c provided upto 4
functions:

1) regs_query_register_offset would translate a register name into a
pt_regs offset and was used by BPF prologues. BPF prologues existed
for BPF events and support for these was removed many releases ago.
This code was dead and could be removed.

2) get_arch_regstr duplicated get_dwarf_regstr and so it could be
removed.  The case for csky was a little more complicated as the ABI
controlled the string. The callers of get_dwarf_regstr were updated to
also pass the ELF flags so that on csky the ABI appropriate table
could be used. As the argument is only used on csky this a no-op for
everything else.

3) get_arch_regnum translated a register name back to a dwarf number
and only existed on x86 where "al", "ax", "eax" and "rax" could all
mean register 0. This code was moved to util with similar
machine/flags logic to get_arch_regstr and for consistency with it.

4) get_powerpc_regs a PowerPC specific function used by annotate that
should really be in util.

2 and 3 required the wiring through of the ELF machine and flags in
callers to get_dwarf_regstr and get_dwarf_regnum. When these values
weren't dependent on an ELF file a new EM_HOST and EF_HOST were added
to give the host ELF machine and flags. These 2 #defines got rid of
the existing separate arch files and #ifdefs.

v3: These files were separated from the rest of the v2 libdw clean up
    in:
