perf tools: Introduce regs_query_register_offset() for x86

regs_query_register_offset() is a helper function which converts
register name like "%rax" to offset of a register in 'struct pt_regs',
which is required by BPF prologue generator. Since the function is
identical, try to reuse the code in arch/x86/kernel/ptrace.c.

Comment inside dwarf-regs.c list the differences between this
implementation and kernel code.

get_arch_regstr() switches to regoffset_table and the old string table
is dropped.
