James Clark d28d95bc63 perf: arm_spe: Add format option for discard mode ...

FEAT_SPEv1p2 (optional from Armv8.6) adds a discard mode that allows all
SPE data to be discarded rather than written to memory. Add a format
bit for this mode.

If the mode isn't supported, the format bit isn't published and attempts
to use it will result in -EOPNOTSUPP. Allocating an aux buffer is still
allowed even though it won't be written to so that old tools continue to
work, but updated tools can choose to skip this step.
