Add a downloader to automatically download the right
files from a download site.

This is implemented as a script calling wget, similar to
perf archive. The perf driver automatically calls the right
binary. The downloader is extensible, but currently only
implements an Intel event download. It would be straightforward
to add other sites too for other vendors.

The downloaded event files are put into ~/.cache/pmu-events, where the
builtin event parser in util/* can find them automatically.

+NAME
+----
+perf-download - Download event files for current CPU.
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+[verse]
+'perf download' [vendor-family-model]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+This command automatically downloads event list for the current CPU and
+stores them in $XDG_CACHE_HOME/pmu-events (or $HOME/.cache/pmu-events).
+The other tools automatically look for them there. The CPU can be also
+specified at the command line.
+
+The downloading is done using http through wget, which needs
+to be installed.
+
+The user should regularly call this to download updated event lists
+for the current CPU.
+
+Note the downloaded files are stored per user, so if you use
+perf as normal user or with sudo you have to run perf download
+for both or specify --json-file for the users manually.

+PER CPU EVENT LISTS
+-------------------
+
+For some CPUs (particularly modern Intel CPUs) "perf download" can
+download additional CPU specific event definitions, which then
+become visible in perf list and available in the other perf tools.

+This obsoletes the raw event description method described below
