perf script: Support insn output for normal samples
perf script -F +insn was only working for PT traces because the PT
instruction decoder was filling in the insn/insn_len sample attributes.
Support it for non PT samples too on x86 using the existing x86
instruction decoder.
This adds some extra checking to ensure that we don't try to decode
instructions when using perf.data from a different architecture.

[ Converted fetch_exe() to use the name it ended up having when merged: thread__memcpy() ]
[ archinsn.c needs the instruction decoder that is only build when CONFIG_AUXTRACE=y, fix that ]
