perf pmu: Auto-merge PMU events created by prefix or glob match

Auto-merge for these events was disabled when auto-merging of non-alias
events was disabled in commit 63ce844 (perf stat: Only auto-merge events
that are PMU aliases).

Non-merging of legacy events is preserved:

    $ perf stat -ag -e cache-misses,cache-misses sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                86,323      cache-misses
                86,323      cache-misses

           1.002623307 seconds time elapsed

But prefix or glob matching auto-merges the events created:

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                   328      l3cache/read-miss/

           1.002627008 seconds time elapsed

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache_0_[01]/read-miss/ sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                   172      l3cache/read-miss/

           1.002627008 seconds time elapsed

As with events created with aliases, auto-merging can be suppressed with
the --no-merge option:

    $ perf stat -a -e l3cache/read-miss/ --no-merge sleep 1

     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

                    67      l3cache/read-miss/
                    67      l3cache/read-miss/
                    63      l3cache/read-miss/
                    60      l3cache/read-miss/

           1.002622192 seconds time elapsed
