[PATCH] perf tests: objdump output can contain multi byte chunks

[Jan Stancek]

objdump's raw insn output can vary across architectures on number of
bytes per chunk (bpc) displayed and their endian.

code-reading test relied on reading objdump output as 1 bpc. Kaixu Xia
reported test failure on ARM64, where objdump displays 4 bpc:
  70c48:        f90027bf         str        xzr, [x29,#72]
  70c4c:        91224000         add        x0, x0, #0x890
  70c50:        f90023a0         str        x0, [x29,#64]

This patch adds support to read raw insn output for any bpc length.
In case of 2+ bpc it also guesses objdump's display endian.
