Currently, perf script uses host unwind methods(local unwind) to parse
perf.data callchain info regardless of the target architecture. So we
get wrong result and no promotion when do remote unwind on other
platforms/machines.

This patchset checks whether a dso is 32-bit or 64-bit according to
elf class info for each thread to let perf use the correct remote
unwind methods instead.

Only x86 and aarch64 is added in this patchset to show the work flow,
other platforms can be added easily.

We can see the right result for unwind info on different machines, for
example: perf.data recorded on i686 qemu with '-g' option and parsed
on x86_64 machine.

before this patchset:

  hello  1219 [001] 72190.667975: probe:sys_close: (c1169d60)
                  c1169d61 sys_close ([kernel.kallsyms])
                  c189c0d7 sysenter_past_esp ([kernel.kallsyms])
                  b777aba9 [unknown] ([vdso32])

after:
(Add vdso into buildid-cache first by 'perf buildid-cache -a' and
libraries are provided in symfs dir)

  hello  1219 [001] 72190.667975: probe:sys_close: (c1169d60)
                  c1169d61 sys_close ([kernel.kallsyms])
                  c189c0d7 sysenter_past_esp ([kernel.kallsyms])
                  b777aba9 __kernel_vsyscall ([vdso32])
                  b76971cc close (/lib/libc-2.22.so)
                   804842e fib (/tmp/hello)
                   804849d main (/tmp/hello)
                  b75d746e __libc_start_main (/lib/libc-2.22.so)
                   8048341 _start (/tmp/hello)

For using remote libunwind libraries, reference this:
  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/2224430

and now we can use LIBUNWIND_DIR to specific custom dirctories
containing libunwind libs.

v7:
  By following the advises from Jiri Olsa:

  - Move unwind ops struct to unwind.h
  - Add return value to function thread__insert_map()
  - Split "Separate local/remote libunwind config" into two patches,
    make commit message consistent with patch content.    
  - Move not supported warnings to "Support x86 target platform" 
  - Export $(ARCH)_unwind_libunwind_ops variables instead of
    functions.    
  - Move arch/$(ARCH)/util/unwind-libunwind-$(ARCH).c into
    util/libunwind/ folder.

Thanks.
