[RFC PATCH 5/7] perf metricgroup: delay events string creation

[Ian Rogers]

Currently event groups are placed into groups_list at the same time as
the events string containing the events is built. Separate these two
operations and build the groups_list first, then the event string from
the groups_list. This adds an ability to reorder the groups_list that
will be used in a later patch.
