perf parse-events: Add 'X' modifier to exclude an event from being regrouped
The function parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups is needed to fix
uncore events like:
```
$ perf stat -e '{data_read,data_write}' ...
```
so that the multiple uncore PMUs have a group each of data_read and
data_write events.
The same function will perform architecture sorting and group fixing,
in particular for Intel topdown/perf-metric events. Grouping multiple
perf metric events together causes perf_event_open to fail as the
group can only support one. This means command lines like:
```
$ perf stat -e 'slots,slots' ...
```
fail as the slots events are forced into a group together to try to
satisfy the perf-metric event constraints.
As the user may know better than
parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups add a 'X' modifier to skip
its regrouping behavior. This allows the following to succeed rather
than fail on the second slots event being opened:
```
$ perf stat -e 'slots,slots:X' -a sleep 1
