perf jevents: Generate metrics and events as separate tables

Turn a perf json event into an event, metric or both. This reduces the
number of events needed to scan to find an event or metric. As events
no longer need the relatively seldom used metric fields, 4 bytes is
saved per event. This reduces the big C string's size by 335kb (14.8%)
on x86.

Note, for the test PMU architecture pme_test_soc_cpu is renamed
pmu_events__test_soc_cpu for consistency with the event vs metric
naming convention.
