perf metric: Allow modifiers on metrics

By allowing modifiers on metrics we can, for example, gather the
same metric for kernel and user mode. On a SkylakeX with
TopDownL1 this gives:

  $ perf stat -M TopDownL1:u,TopDownL1:k -a sleep 2

Modifiers are naively copy and pasted on to events, this can yield errors like:

  $ perf stat -M Kernel_Utilization:k -a sleep 2
  event syntax error: '..d.thread:k/kk,cpu_clk_unhalted.thread/metric-id=cpu_clk_unhalted.thread/k..'
                                    \___ Bad modifier

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -M, --metrics <metric/metric group list>
                            monitor specified metrics or metric groups (separated by ,)

When modifiers are present with constraints, from --metric-no-group or
the NMI watchdog, they are no longer placed in the same set - which may
miss deduplicating events.
