perf parse-events: Allow the cpu term to be a PMU or CPU range
On hybrid systems, events like msr/tsc/ will aggregate counts across
all CPUs. Often metrics only want a value like msr/tsc/ for the cores
on which the metric is being computed. Listing each CPU with terms
cpu=0,cpu=1.. is laborious and would need to be encoded for all
variations of a CPU model.
Allow the cpumask from a PMU to be an argument to the cpu term. For
example in the following the cpumask of the cstate_pkg PMU selects the
CPUs to count msr/tsc/ counter upon:
```
$ cat /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cstate_pkg/cpumask
0
$ perf stat -A -e 'msr/tsc,cpu=cstate_pkg/' -a sleep 0.1
Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
CPU0 252,621,253 msr/tsc,cpu=cstate_pkg/
0.101184092 seconds time elapsed
```
As the cpu term is now also allowed to be a string, allow it to encode
a range of CPUs (a list can't be supported as ',' is already a special
token).
The "event qualifiers" section of the `perf list` man page is updated
to detail the additional behavior. The man page formatting is tidied
up in this section, as it was incorrectly appearing within the
"parameterized events" section.
