Patchset adds new macros for mem_hops field which can be
used to represent remote-node, socket and board level details.

Currently the code had macro for HOPS_0, which corresponds
to data coming from another core but same node.
Add new macros for HOPS_1 to HOPS_3 to represent
remote-node, socket and board level data.

For ex: Encodings for mem_hops fields with L2 cache:

L2                      - local L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_0    - remote core, same node L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_1    - remote node, same socket L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_2    - remote socket, same board L2
L2 | REMOTE | HOPS_3    - remote board L2

Patch 1 & 2 adds tool and kernel side changes to add new macros for
mem_hops field

Patch 3 add data source encodings for power10 and older platforms
to represent data based on newer composite  PERF_MEM_LVLNUM* fields

Patch 4 add data source encodings with proper sub_index used to
represent memory/cache level data for power10 platform.
