[PATCH v18 18/19] perf, tools, pmu-events: Fix fixed counters on Intel

[Sukadev Bhattiprolu]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The JSON event lists use a different encoding for fixed counters
than perf for instructions and cycles (ref-cycles is ok)

This lead to some common events like inst_retired.any
or cpu_clk_unhalted.thread not counting, when specified with their
JSON name.

Special case these events in the jevents conversion process.
I prefer to not touch the JSON files for this, as it's intended
that standard JSON files can be just dropped into the perf
build without changes.
