perf arm_spe: Decode Arm N1 IMPDEF events
>From the TRM [1], N1 has one IMPDEF event which isn't covered by the common list. Add a framework so that more cores can be added in the future and that the N1 IMPDEF event can be decoded. Also increase the size of the buffer because we're adding more strings and if it gets truncated it falls back to a hex dump only.
