perf jevents: Add IOMMU metrics for Intel

Add IOMMU Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) and interrupt cache metrics
to perf jevents for Intel platforms. This enhances I/O performance
observability, allowing fleet-wide monitoring of IOMMU overhead.

These metrics are supported on platforms that expose the required uncore
IIO IOMMU events (such as Emerald Rapids and Granite Rapids).

The Intel implementation dynamically detects event availability at
generation time.

It requires at least the TLB events to expose the metric group, while
the interrupt cache events are optional. This allows platforms like
Emerald Rapids, which lack IOMMU interrupt cache events, to still expose
the IOMMU TLB metrics.

The following metrics are added:

- iotlb_total_hit: Total IOTLB hits (4K, 2M, 1G pages).
- iotlb_total_miss: Total IOTLB misses.
- iotlb_miss_rate: IOTLB miss rate.
- iotlb_interrupt_cache_hit: Interrupt cache hits.
- iotlb_interrupt_cache_miss: Interrupt cache misses (calculated as
  lookup - hit, clamped to zero).
- iotlb_interrupt_cache_lookup: Interrupt cache lookups.
- iotlb_interrupt_cache_miss_rate: Interrupt cache miss rate.

Tested:
  # perf stat -M \
    iotlb_total_hit,iotlb_total_miss,iotlb_miss_rate \
    --per-socket --metric-only -a -j -- sleep 10
  {"socket" : "S0", "counters" : 10,
   "hits  iotlb_total_hit" : "3579249.0",
   "%  iotlb_miss_rate" : "0.0",
   "misses  iotlb_total_miss" : "3.0"}
  {"socket" : "S1", "counters" : 10,
   "hits  iotlb_total_hit" : "0.0",
   "%  iotlb_miss_rate" : "0.0",
   "misses  iotlb_total_miss" : "0.0"}
