Enable the CoreSight[1] functionality in perf[2] if 'coresight' is in the
MACHINE_FEATURES.

Note that enabling this will mean a dependency on the opencsd recipe,
which is currently part of meta-arm[3]. I don't think this is a problem
as this recipe is Arm-specific, and as this is a new feature the
behaviour is opt-in so shouldn't break any existing machines.
