[Patch v4] perf tests: Add auto counter reload (ACR) sampling test

[Dapeng Mi <dapeng1.mi@linux.intel.com>]

Add auto counter reload sampling test to verify that the intended event
records can be captured and the self-reloaded events won't generate any
records.

V4: Remove model-specific ACR sampling test in ratio_to_prev test to
avoid false positive. Some hybrid platforms only support ACR on E-cores,
e.g., PTL. If the test process is scheduled on P-core, it leads to false
positive since P-core doesn't support ACR. test_acr_sampling() is
already fair enough to validate ACR sampling functionalities.
