perf beauty: Introduce strtoul() for x86 MSRs

Continuing from the previous cset comment, now that filter expression
works:

  # perf trace -e msr:* --filter="msr!=FS_BASE && msr != IA32_TSC_DEADLINE && msr != 0x830 && msr != 0x83f && msr !=IA32_SPEC_CTRL" --filter-pids 3750

Or look at the first 3 write_msr events for that IA32_TSC_DEADLINE to learn why
it happens so often:

  # perf trace --max-events=3 --max-stack=8 -e msr:* --filter="msr==IA32_TSC_DEADLINE" --filter-pids 3750
     0.000 :0/0 msr:write_msr(msr: IA32_TSC_DEADLINE, val: 19296732550862)

  #

And if some of the strings can't be found:

  # trace -e msr:* --filter="msr!=SPECULATIVE_EXECUTION_PROBLEMS_SOLUTION && msr != IA32_TSC_DEADLINE && msr != 0x830 && msr != 0x83f && msr !=IA32_SPEC_CTRL" --filter-pids 3750
  "SPECULATIVE_EXECUTION_PROBLEMS_SOLUTION" not found for "msr" in "msr:read_msr", can't set filter "(msr!=SPECULATIVE_EXECUTION_PROBLEMS_SOLUTION && msr != IA32_TSC_DEADLINE && msr != 0x830 && msr != 0x83f && msr !=IA32_SPEC_CTRL) && (common_pid != 28131 && common_pid != 3750)"
  #

Next step is to automatically wire up the pre-existing strarrays, which there
are quite a few.

The strtoul() methods will be further enhanced to allow for looking at other
arguments in a syscall/tracepoint, just like going from integer to string
(scnprintf methods), so that those "val" lines for the msr tracepoints can be
properly formatted or even resolved into some string.
