libperf cpumap: Add "any CPU"/dummy test function

It is common in the code currently to test a map for "empty" when in
fact the "any CPU"/dummy value of -1 is being sought. Add a new
function to enable this and document the behavior of two other
functions.

The term "any CPU" comes from perf_event_open, where the value is
consumed, but it is more typical in the code to see this value/map
referred to as the dummy value. This could be misleading due to the
dummy event and also dummy not being intention revealing, so it is hoped
to migrate the code to referring to this as "any CPU".
