pmc

Summary

K8 is the ancient/initial 64-bit AMD processers. We are retaining
support for these, but our AMD hwpmc class has grown substantially. We
don't want to emphasize this old naming as it is a potential source of
confusion.

The PMC_CLASS_K8 name is retained as an alias, and still used in the K8
code in libpmc.c.

Test Plan

Notably, this changes the output of pmccontrol -l:

24 AMD_ZEN CPUs present, with 39 PMCs per CPU
