perf annotate: Add support to use libcapstone in powerpc

Now perf uses the capstone library to disassemble the instructions in
x86. capstone is used (if available) for perf annotate to speed up.

Currently it only supports x86 architecture.

This patch includes changes to enable this in powerpc.

For now, only for data type sort keys, this method is used and only
binary code (raw instruction) is read. This is because powerpc approach
to understand instructions and reg fields uses raw instruction.

The "cs_disasm" is currently not enabled. While attempting to do
cs_disasm, observation is that some of the instructions were not
identified (ex: extswsli, maddld) and it had to fallback to use objdump.

Hence enabling "cs_disasm" is added in comment section as a TODO for
powerpc.
