[PATCH v4 0/7] Event parsing fixes

I rebased this one and made some other fixes so that I could test it,
so I thought I'd repost it here in case it's helpful. I also added a
new test.

But for the testing it all looks ok.

There is one small difference where it now shows "stalled-cycles-..."
as <not supported> events, when before it just didn't show them at all when
they weren't supported:

  $ perf stat -- true

  Performance counter stats for 'true':

              0.66 msec task-clock                       #    0.384 CPUs utilized             
                 0      context-switches                 #    0.000 /sec                      
                 0      cpu-migrations                   #    0.000 /sec                      
                52      page-faults                      #   78.999 K/sec                     
     <not counted>      cpu_atom/instructions/                                                  (0.00%)
           978,399      cpu_core/instructions/           #    1.02  insn per cycle            
     <not counted>      cpu_atom/cycles/                                                        (0.00%)
           959,722      cpu_core/cycles/                 #    1.458 GHz                       
   <not supported>      cpu_atom/stalled-cycles-frontend/                                      
   <not supported>      cpu_core/stalled-cycles-frontend/                                      

I don't think that's a big deal though and could probably be fixed up
later if we really want to.

Tested on Raptor Lake, Juno, N1, Ampere (with the DSU cycles PMU) and
I also faked an Apple M on Juno. 

Changes since v3:

  * Rebase onto perf-tools-next 6236ebe07
  * Fix Intel TPEBS counting mode test
  * Fix arm-spe build
  * Add support for DT devices in stat test
  * Add a new test for hybrid perf stat default arguments
