RISC-V privilege specification does not specify how to encode the event ID.
Therefore, each platform is allowed to customize its own encoding rule.
The common encoding methods are as follow, directly assigning a number to an
event, or every bit in the mphmevent CSR controls one specified event or
mixes the above two methods.
To enable OpenSBI to support the above three encoding methods simultaneously,
this patch repurpose the dt property "riscv,raw-event-to-mhpmcounters". The
"riscv,raw-event-to-mhpmcounters" will describes the one or multiple raw
events that could be counted by a set of counters. But, the column number
of "riscv,raw-event-to-mhpmcounters" is extended from 2 to 3. The 1st column
(64bit) is the ID of the raw events. The 2nd column (64bit) represents a
select_mask now to represent the bits used for event ID encoding.
If a platform directly encodes each raw PMU event as a unique ID,
the value of select_mask will be 0xffffffff_ffffffff.

As per the DT schema rules, the prefix should be vendor. As the PMU
properties are generic for all vendors, change the prefix to riscv
instead of pmu.

Some platforms such as hifive unmatched doesn't implement mcountinhibit
csr. However, it has hardware events that can be monitored using 2
hpmcounter it has (i.e. mhpmcounter3 & mhpmcounter4).
Currently, PMU extension disabled if mcountinhibit is absent. That's not
really necessary as long as the supervisor OS keeps track of the delta
value of the counters. Without mcountinhibit, the delta value won't be
entirely accurate because the counters are freely running. However, that
should be fine to produce an approximate counter value which can help
performance analysis. Perf sampling won't work though as sscof extension
is not present in hifive unmatched.

The PMU DT node bindings are defined in docs/pmu_support.md
Add few fdt helper functions to parse the DT node and update the
event-counter mapping tables.
