Ian Rogers 94dbfd6781 perf parse-events: Architecture specific leader override
Currently topdown events must appear after a slots event:

  $ perf stat -e '{slots,topdown-fe-bound}' /bin/true

   Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

         3,183,090      slots
           986,133      topdown-fe-bound

Reversing the events yields:

  $ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (topdown-fe-bound).

For metrics the order of events is determined by iterating over a
hashmap, and so slots isn't guaranteed to be first which can yield this
error.

Change the set_leader in parse-events, called when a group is closed, so
that rather than always making the first event the leader, if the slots
event exists then it is made the leader. It is then moved to the head of
the evlist otherwise it won't be opened in the correct order.

The result is:

  $ perf stat -e '{topdown-fe-bound,slots}' /bin/true

   Performance counter stats for '/bin/true':

         3,274,795      slots
         1,001,702      topdown-fe-bound

A problem with this approach is the slots event is identified by name,
names can be overwritten like 'cpu/slots,name=foo/' and this causes the
leader change to fail.

The change also modifies and fixes mixed groups like, with the change:

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

        5574985410      slots
         971981616      instructions
        1348461887      topdown-fe-bound

       2.001263120 seconds time elapsed

Without the change:

  $ perf stat -e '{instructions,slots,topdown-fe-bound}' -a -- sleep 2

   Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

     <not counted>      instructions
     <not counted>      slots
   <not supported>      topdown-fe-bound

       2.006247990 seconds time elapsed

Something that may be undesirable here is that the events are reordered
in the output.
