[gprofng] Adding a new CPU architecture

[Thomas Gruber]

Hi,

I tried to add Fujitsu A64FX hardware performance event support to 
gprofng but didn't find a contributing guide. The comments in the code 
and the code structure itself didn't help much in my understanding.

Just adding the event list is probably not enough since the A64FX is not 
detected properly yet by gprofng, so extending the CPU detection is also 
required.

Are there some hints how to add a new architecture to gprofng?

Best,
Thomas
