Provide a new solution to replace the reverted commit ac2dc29edd21
("perf stat: Add default hybrid events").

For the default software attrs, nothing is changed.
For the default hardware attrs, create a new evsel for each hybrid pmu.

With the new solution, adding a new default attr will not require the
special support for the hybrid platform anymore.

Also, the "--detailed" is supported on the hybrid platform

With the patch,

./perf stat -a -ddd sleep 1

Although the idx will be updated later, the value doesn't matter.
I think it should be better to use 0, rather than
evlist->core.nr_entries. Because it's a new evsel and hasn't been added
into the evlist yet.

You can just use evsel__new() which does the same.

Yes, evsel__new() can work for it, I will update it in the next version, thanks.
Thanks,
Namhyung
