perf probe: Allow wildcard for cached events

Allo glob wildcard for reusing cached/SDT events. E.g.

  # perf probe -x /usr/lib64/libc-2.20.so -a %sdt_libc:\*

This example adds probes for all SDT in libc.
Note that the SDTs must have been scanned by perf buildid-cache.

Committer note:

Using it to check what of those SDT probes would take place when doing
a cargo run (rust):

  # trace --no-sys --event sdt_libc:* cargo run
     0.000 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f326b69c4d1))
    28.423 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f4b0a5364d1))
    29.000 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f4b0a5364d1))
    88.597 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7fc01fd414d1))
    89.220 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7fc01fd414d1))
    95.501 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f326b69c4d1))
     Running `target/debug/hello_world`
    97.110 sdt_libc:setjmp:(7f95e09234d1))
  Hello, world!
