perf stat: Add TopdownL1 metric as a default if present

When there are no events and on Intel, the topdown events will be
added by default if present. To display the metrics associated with
these request special handling in stat-shadow.c. To more easily update
these metrics use the json metric version via the TopdownL1
group. This makes the handling less platform specific.

Modify the metricgroup__has_metric code to also cover metric groups.

perf stat: Add topdown metrics in the default perf stat on the hybrid machine

Topdown metrics are missed in the default perf stat on the hybrid machine,
add Topdown metrics in default perf stat for hybrid systems.

Currently, we support the perf metrics Topdown for the p-core PMU in the
perf stat default, the perf metrics Topdown support for e-core PMU will be
implemented later separately. Refactor the code adds two x86 specific
functions. Widen the size of the event name column by 7 chars, so that all
metrics after the "#" become aligned again.

The perf metrics topdown feature is supported on the cpu_core of ADL. The
dedicated perf metrics counter and the fixed counter 3 are used for the
topdown events. Adding the topdown metrics doesn't trigger multiplexing.

perf parse-events: Move slots event for the hybrid platform too

The commit 94dbfd6781a0e87b ("perf parse-events: Architecture specific
leader override") introduced a feature to reorder the slots event to
fulfill the restriction of the perf metrics topdown group. But the
feature doesn't work on the hybrid machine.

$ perf stat -e "{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}" -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

<not counted> cpu_core/instructions/
<not counted> cpu_core/slots/
<not supported> cpu_core/topdown-retiring/

A hybrid platform has a different PMU name for the core PMUs, while
current perf hard code the PMU name "cpu".

Introduce a new function to check whether the system supports the perf
metrics feature. The result is cached for the future usage.

For X86, the core PMU name always has "cpu" prefix.

With the patch:

$ perf stat -e "{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}" -a sleep 1

Performance counter stats for 'system wide':

76,337,010 cpu_core/slots/
