perf annotate: Allow arches to specify functions to skip

This is to cope with an ARM specific kludge introduced in the original
patch supporting ARM annotation, cfef25b8daf7 ("perf annotate: ARM
support") that made functions with a '+' in its name to be skipped when
processing call instructions.

With this patchkit it should be possible to collect a perf.data file on
a ARM machine and then annotate it on a x86 workstation and have those
ARM kludges used.
