libperf's perf_mmap__read_self and the addition of arm64 support mean
that the perf_event.h and the rdpmc perf test have become
stale. Refresh the documentation in perf_event.h, remove the x86 rdpmc
test and port the libperf test as a non-architecture specific test.

A comment is added to perf_event.h to avoid a divide by zero when
scaling counts if the running time is 0. This was previously discussed
in this thread:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/CAP-5=fVRdqvswtyQMg5cB+ntTGda+SAYskjTQednEH-AeZo13g@mail.gmail.com/

v3. Incorporates fixes from Rob Herring <robh@kernel.org> to make the
    perf_event.h comments better. It drops the already merged sanitizer fix.
v2. Alters the skip in test_stat_user_read for open to always be a
    skip as perf_event_open may fail with EACCES (permissions), ENOSYS
    (not supported) and ENOENT (hypervisor). Adds Rob Herring's
    acked-by on patch 3.
