perf stat: Collapse identically named events

The uncore PMU has a lot of duplicated PMUs for different subsystems.
When expanding an uncore alias we usually end up with a large
number of identically named aliases, which makes perf stat
output difficult to read.

Automatically sum them up in perf stat, unless --no-merge is specified.

This can be default because only the uncores generally have duplicated
aliases. Other PMUs have unique names.

Before:

  % perf stat --no-merge -a -e unc_c_llc_lookup.any sleep 1

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

           694,976 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           706,304 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           956,608 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           782,720 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           605,696 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           442,816 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           659,328 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           509,312 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           263,936 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           592,448 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           672,448 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any

           684,864 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           710,464 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any
           538,304 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any

       1.002577660 seconds time elapsed

After:

  % perf stat -a -e unc_c_llc_lookup.any sleep 1

  Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

         2,685,120 Bytes unc_c_llc_lookup.any

       1.002648032 seconds time elapsed

v2: Split collect_aliases. Rename alias flag.
v3: Make sure unsupported/not counted is always printed.
v4: Factor out callback change into separate patch.
v5: Move check for bad results here
    Move merged check into collect_data
