libperf: Add API for allocating new thread map array

The existing API perf_thread_map__new_dummy() allocates new thread map
for one thread. I couldn't find a way to reallocate the map with more
threads, or to allocate a new map for more than one thread.

Having multiple threads in a thread map is essential for some use cases.
That's why a new API is proposed, which allocates a new thread map for
given number of threads: perf_thread_map__new_array()

libperf: Rename arguments of perf_thread_map APIs

The "int thread" input arguments of some perf_thead_map APIs are index
of the thread in the thread map.

In order to avoid confusion and to make the APIs consistent with
perf_cpu_map APIs, those arguments are renamed to "int idx".
