perf parse-events: Fix for term values that are raw events
Raw events can be strings like 'r0xead' but the 0x is optional so they can also be 'read'. On IcelakeX uncore_imc_free_running has an event called 'read' which may be programmed as: ``` $ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1 ``` However, the PE_RAW type isn't allowed on the right of a term, even though in this case we just want to interpret it as a string. This leads to the following error on IcelakeX: ``` $ perf stat -e 'uncore_imc_free_running/event=read/' -a sleep 1 event syntax error: '..nning/event=read/' \___ parser error Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>] -e, --event <event> event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events ``` Fix this by allowing raw types on the right of terms and treat them as strings, just as is already done for PE_LEGACY_CACHE. Make this consistent by just entirely removing name_or_legacy and always using name_or_raw that covers all three cases.
