intel/perf: Store indices to strings rather than pointers
The compiler does a good job of deduplicating strings already, but we
can eliminate the pointers to each string by combining the strings into
a single char array and storing only an index into that array.
The longest of the char arrays is the descriptions array, which is a
little over 45 KiB, so still under MSVC's 64 KiB string literal limit
[0]. Because the string length is under 64 KiB we can use uint16_t as
the index type, which roughly doubles our savings as compared to an int.
This cuts 77 KiB from iris_dri.so (0.5%) and libvulkan_intel.so (0.9%).
