If it runs on an old kernel, perf_event_open would fail because of the
new fields sigtrap and sig_data. Just skipping the test could miss an
actual bug in the kernel.
Let's check BTF (when we have libbpf) if it has the sigtrap field in the
perf_event_attr. Otherwise, we can check it with a minimal event config.

Skip the Sigtrap test for arm + arm64, same as was done for s390 in
commit a840974e96 ("perf test: Test 73 Sig_trap fails on s390"). For
this, reuse BP_SIGNAL_IS_SUPPORTED - meaning that the arch can use BP to
generate signals - instead of BP_ACCOUNT_IS_SUPPORTED, which is
appropriate.
As described by Will at [0], in the test we get stuck in a loop of
handling the HW breakpoint exception and never making progress. GDB
handles this by stepping over the faulting instruction, but with perf
the kernel is expected to handle the step (which it doesn't for arm).
Dmitry made an attempt to get this work, also mentioned in the same
thread as [0], which was appreciated. But the best thing to do is skip
the test for now.

In Linux next commit 5504f67944 ("perf test sigtrap: Add basic
stress test for sigtrap handling") introduced the new test which uses
breakpoint events. These events are not supported on s390 and PowerPC
and always fail:
# perf test -F 73
73: Sigtrap : FAILED!
#
Fix it the same way as in the breakpoint tests in file
tests/bp_account.c where these type of tests are skipped on s390 and
PowerPC platforms.
With this patch skip this test on both platforms.
Output after:
# perf test -F 73
73: Sigtrap
#

Helps a bit the user figuring out why it is failing:
Before:
$ perf test sigtrap
73: Sigtrap : FAILED!
$ perf test -v sigtrap
73: Sigtrap :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 3816772
FAILED sys_perf_event_open()
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sigtrap: FAILED!
$
After:
$ perf test sigtrap
73: Sigtrap : FAILED!
$ perf test -v sigtrap
73: Sigtrap :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 3816772
FAILED sys_perf_event_open(): Permission denied
test child finished with -1
---- end ----
Sigtrap: FAILED!

Add basic stress test for sigtrap handling as a perf tool built-in test.
This allows sanity checking the basic sigtrap functionality from within
the perf tool.
Committer notes:
Reported that !root was getting -EPERM, applied a fixup from Marco to
set .exclude_{hv,kernel} that made it work.
