perf doc: Document new IBS capabilities in man page

Include examples of:

o Privilege filter with Fetch and Op PMUs, including swfilt approach on
  Zen5 and older platforms and hardware assisted filter on Zen6 and newer
  platforms

o Streaming store filter with Op PMU

o Fetch latency filter with Fetch PMU

NOTES
-----
Hardware privilege filtering uses bit 63 to distinguish between kernel
and userspace addresses. Hardware privilege filtering is not supported
on 32-bit systems. Also, the bit 63 convention is not universal and can
fail in specific environments, such as, using 64-bit host IBS to profile
a 32-bit guest, using 64-bit host IBS to profile non-Linux 64-bit guests
that do not adhere to the bit 63 privilege standard etc.
