[PATCH RFC 16/20] tools/perf: Pass the Counter constraint values in the pmu events

RISC-V doesn't have any standard event to counter mapping discovery
mechanism in the ISA. The ISA defines 29 programmable counters and
platforms can choose to implement any number of them and map any
events to any counters. Thus, the perf tool need to inform the driver
about the counter mapping of each events.

The current perf infrastructure only parses the 'Counter' constraints
in metrics. This patch extends that to pass in the pmu events so that
any driver can retrieve those values via perf attributes if defined
accordingly.
