With all features in place, the ARC HS pct block can now be effectively
allowed to be probed/used

In times of ARC 700 performance counters didn't have support of
interrupt an so for ARC we only had support of non-sampling events.
Put simply only "perf stat" was functional.
Now with ARC HS we have support of interrupts in performance counters
which this change introduces support of.
ARC performance counters act in the following way in regard of
interrupts generation.
[1] A counter counts starting from value set in PCT_COUNT register pair
[2] Once counter reaches value set in PCT_INT_CNT interrupt is raised
Basic setup look like this:
[1] PCT_COUNT = 0;
[2] PCT_INT_CNT = __limit_value__;
[3] Enable interrupts for that counter and let it run
[4] Let counter reach its limit
[5] Handle interrupt when it happens
Note that PCT HW block is build in CPU core and so ints interrupt
line (which is basically OR of all counters IRQs) is wired directly to
top-level IRQC. That means do de-assert PCT interrupt it's required to
reset IRQs from all counters that have reached their limit values.

The number of counters in PCT can never be more than 32 (while
countable conditions could be 100+) for both ARCompact and ARCv2
And while at it update copyright dates.

This adds basic perf support for ARC700 cores. Most PERF_COUNT_HW* events
are supported now.
