The tools so far have been using the strerror_r() GNU variant, that
returns a string, be it the buffer passed or something else.
But that, besides being tricky in cases where we expect that the
function using strerror_r() returns the error formatted in a provided
buffer (we have to check if it returned something else and copy that
instead), breaks the build on systems not using glibc, like Alpine
Linux, where musl libc is used.
So, introduce yet another wrapper, str_error_r(), that has the GNU
interface, but uses the portable XSI variant of strerror_r(), so that
users rest asured that the provided buffer is used and it is what is
returned.

Some tests have sub-tests we want to run, so allow passing this.
Wang tried to avoid having to touch all tests, but then, having the
test.func in an anonymous union makes the build fail on older compilers,
like the one in RHEL6, where:
test a = {
.func = foo,
};
fails.
To fix it leave the func pointer in the main structure and pass the subtest
index to all tests, end result function is the same, but we have just one
function pointer, not two, with and without the subtest index as an argument.

We were using it at 10 kHz, which doesn't work in machines where somehow
the max freq was auto reduced by the kernel:
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf test 19
19: Test software clock events have valid period values : FAILED!
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf test -v 19
19: Test software clock events have valid period values :
--- start ---
Couldn't open evlist: Invalid argument
---- end ----
Test software clock events have valid period values: FAILED!
[root@ssdandy ~]#
[root@ssdandy ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_max_sample_rate
7000
Reducing it to 500 Hz should be good enough for this test and also
shouldn't affect what it is testing.
But warn the user if it fails, informing the knob and the freq tried.

We were not checking if we successfully opened the counters, i.e. if
sys_perf_event_open worked, when it doesn't in this test, we were
continuing anyway and then segfaulting when trying to access the file
descriptor array, that at that point had been freed in perf_evlist__open
error path:
[root@ssdandy ~]# perf test -v 19
19: Test software clock events have valid period values :
--- start ---
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[root@ssdandy ~]#
Do the check and bail out instead.

Most uses of the evsel constructor are followed by a call to
perf_evlist__add with an idex of evlist->nr_entries, so make rename
the current constructor to perf_evsel__new_idx and remove the need
for passing the constructor for the common case.
We still need the new_idx variant because the way groups are handled,
with evsel->nr_members holding the number of entries in an evlist,
partitioning the evlist into sublists inside a single linked list.
This asks for a clarifying refactoring, but for now simplify the non
parser cases, so that tool writers don't have to bother with evsel idx
setting.
