perf/tool: Add PMU event alias support

Add support to specify alias term within the event description.

The definition of pmu event alias is located at:

  ${sysfs_mount}/bus/event_source/devices/${pmu}/events/

Each file in the 'events' directory defines a event alias. Its contents
are like:

  config=1,config1=2

Using pmu event alias, an event can be now specified like:

  uncore/CLOCKTICKS/ or uncore/event=CLOCKTICKS/
