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.
