libperf: Document code simplification case for widening struct perf_cpu

Add a bullet point to the libperf ABI TODO explaining the code
simplification benefit of widening struct perf_cpu.cpu from int16_t
to int: the narrow type forces defensive truncation checks at every
boundary where wider CPU indices are narrowed, and values > 32767
silently wrap to negative numbers (two's complement), bypassing
bounds validation without them.
