Series coresight: Add new API to allocate trace source ID values |

Commit Message

  Trace IDs are now dynamically allocated.

Previously used the static association algorithm that is no longer
used. The 'cpu * 2 + seed' was outdated and broken for systems with high
core counts (>46). as it did not scale and was broken for larger
core counts.

Trace ID will now be sent in PERF_RECORD_AUX_OUTPUT_HW_ID record.

Legacy ID algorithm renamed and retained for limited backward
compatibility use.
