[PATCH 02/17] perf auxtrace: Allow number of queues to be specified

Currently it's only possible to initialize with the default number of
queues and then use auxtrace_queues__add_event() to grow the array. But
that's problematic if you don't have a real event to pass into that
function yet.

The queues hold a void *priv member to store custom state, and for
Coresight we want to create decoders upfront before receiving data, so
add a new function that allows pre-allocating queues. One reason to do
this is because we might need to store metadata (HW_ID events) that
effects other queues, but never actually receive auxtrace data on that
queue.
