perf: Fix mmap_page capabilities and docs
Complete the syscall-less self-profiling feature and address
all complaints, namely:
 - capabilities, so we can detect what is actually available at runtime
     Add a capabilities field to perf_event_mmap_page to indicate
     what is actually available for use.
 - on x86: RDPMC weirdness due to being 40/48 bits and not sign-extending
   properly.
 - ABI documentation as to how all this stuff works.
Also improve the documentation for the new features.
