perf annotate: Use architecture-agnostic register limit
Remove the arch-specific guard around TYPE_STATE_MAX_REGS and define it as 32 for all architectures. The architecture that perf is built on may not match the architecture that produced the perf.data file, so relying on __powerpc__ or similar is fragile. Using 32 as a fixed upper bound is safe since it is greater than the previous maximum of 16. Add a comment to clarify that TYPE_STATE_MAX_REGS is an arch-independent maximum rather than a build-time choice.
