[PATCH v16 11/16] perf, tools: Add alias support for long descriptions

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

Previously we were dropping the useful longer descriptions that some
events have in the event list completely. Now that jevents provides
support for longer descriptions (see previous patch), add support for
parsing the long descriptions
