[PATCH 2/3] perf alias: Rebuild alias expression string to make it comparable

[Thomas Richter]

PMU alias definitions in sysfs files may have spaces, newlines
and number with leading zeroes. Same alias definitions may
also appear in JSON files without spaces, etc.

Scan alias definitions and remove leading zeroes, spaces,
newlines, etc and rebuild string to make alias->str member
comparable.

s390 for example  has terms specified as
event=0x0091 (read from files ../<PMU>/events/<FILE>
and terms specified as event=0x91 (read from JSON files).
