[PATCH 4/6] perf, tools: Support alias descriptions

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add support to print alias descriptions in perf list, which
are taken from the generated event files.

The sorting code is changed to put the events with descriptions
at the end. The descriptions are printed as possibly multiple word
wrapped lines.

Example output:

% perf list
...
  arith.fpu_div
       [Divide operations executed]
  arith.fpu_div_active
       [Cycles when divider is busy executing divide operations]
