perf parse-events: Prefer sysfs/JSON hardware events over legacy
It was requested that RISC-V be able to add events to the perf tool so
the PMU driver didn't need to map legacy events to config encodings:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20240217005738.3744121-1-atishp@rivosinc.com/
This change makes the priority of events specified without a PMU the
same as those specified with a PMU, namely sysfs and JSON events are
checked first before using the legacy encoding.
The hw_term is made more generic as a hardware_event that encodes a
pair of string and int value, allowing parse_events_multi_pmu_add to
fall back on a known encoding when the sysfs/JSON adding fails for
core events. As this covers PE_VALUE_SYM_HW, that token is removed and
related code simplified.
