x86/cpufeatures: Add Architectural LBRs feature bit
CPUID.(EAX=07H, ECX=0):EDX[19] indicates whether an Intel CPU supports Architectural LBRs. The "X86_FEATURE_..., word 18" is already mirrored from CPUID "0x00000007:0 (EDX)". Add X86_FEATURE_ARCH_LBR under the "word 18" section. The feature will appear as "arch_lbr" in /proc/cpuinfo. The Architectural Last Branch Records (LBR) feature enables recording of software path history by logging taken branches and other control flows. The feature will be supported in the perf_events subsystem.
