[PATCH v5 08/14] perf: Add gtrace AUX buffer trace format type

The gtrace PMU can host trace components of different architectures and
trace protocols, so the recorded AUX data needs to carry its format as
well. Define PERF_AUX_FLAG_GTRACE_FORMAT_ETRACE for the RISC-V E-trace
format which the perf tool can use to decode the payload.
