Namhyung Kim 3f5928e461 perf dwarf-aux: Add die_find_variable_by_reg() helper

The die_find_variable_by_reg() will search for a variable or a parameter
sub-DIE in the given scope DIE where the location matches to the given
register.

For the simplest and most common case, memory access usually happens
with a base register and an offset to the field so the register holds a
pointer in a variable or function parameter.  Then we can find one if it
has a location expression at the (instruction) address.  This function
only handles such a simple case for now.

In this case, the expression has a DW_OP_regN operation where N < 32.
If the register index (N) is greater than or equal to 32, DW_OP_regx
operation with an operand which saves the value for the N would be used.
It rejects expressions with more operations.
