[PATCH v1]: perf record: enable arbitrary event names thru name= modifier

[Alexey Budankov]

Enable complex event names containing [.:=,] symbols to be encoded into Perf 
trace using name= modifier e.g. like this:

perf record -e cpu/name=\'OFFCORE_RESPONSE:request=DEMAND_RFO:response=L3_HIT.SNOOP_HITM\',\
		period=0x3567e0,event=0x3c,cmask=0x1/Duk ./futex

Below is how it looks like in the report output. Please note explicit escaped 
quoting at cmdline string in the header so that thestring can be directly reused
for another collection in shell:

perf report --header

# ========
...
# cmdline : /root/abudanko/kernel/tip/tools/perf/perf record -v -e cpu/name=\'OFFCORE_RESPONSE:request=DEMAND_RFO:response=L3_HIT.SNOOP_HITM\',period=0x3567e0,event=0x3c,cmask=0x1/Duk ./futex 
# event : name = OFFCORE_RESPONSE:request=DEMAND_RFO:response=L3_HIT.SNOOP_HITM, , type = 4, size = 112, config = 0x100003c, { sample_period, sample_freq } = 3500000, sample_type = IP|TID|TIME, disabled = 1, inh
...
# ========
#
#
# Total Lost Samples: 0
#
# Samples: 24K of event 'OFFCORE_RESPONSE:request=DEMAND_RFO:response=L3_HIT.SNOOP_HITM'
# Event count (approx.): 86492000000
#
# Overhead  Command  Shared Object     Symbol                                        
# ........  .......  ................  ..............................................
