[PATCH 03/10] perf, tools: Support per pmu json aliases

[Andi Kleen]

From: Andi Kleen <ak@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Add support for registering json aliases per PMU. Any alias
with an unit matching the prefix is registered to the PMU.
Uncore has multiple instances of most units, so all
these aliases get registered for each individual PMU
(this is important later to run the event on every instance
of the PMU).

To avoid printing the events multiple times in perf list
filter out duplicated events during printing.

v2: Rely on uncore_ prefix already in unit
v3: Document why calls were reordered
