Namhyung Kim 5d0cff93bb perf tools: Support shortcuts for events in dynamic sort keys
The dynamic sort key requires event name but specifying full event name
is rather inconvenient.  This patch adds more ways to identify the event
in a more compact way.

  1. If session has just one event, event name can be omitted.
  2. Events can be accessed by index preceded by a percent sign.
  3. A part of the name can be used, if it's not ambiguous.  The partial
     name should not contain ':' in it.
  4. Full system + event name is still used, it should contain ':'.

So in the below example all does same thing:

  $ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 1

  $ perf report -s next_pid,next_comm
  $ perf report -s %1.next_pid,%1.next_comm
  $ perf report -s switch.next_pid,switch.next_comm
  $ perf report -s sched:sched_switch.next_pid,sched:sched_switch.next_comm
