perf stat: Implement --topdown using json metrics

Request the topdown metric group of a level with the metrics in the
group 'TopdownL<level>' rather than through specific events. As more
topdown levels are supported this way, such as 6 on Intel Ice Lake,
default to just showing the level 1 metrics. This can be overridden
using '--td-level'. Rather than determine the maximum topdown level
from sysfs, use the metric group names. Remove some now unused topdown
code.

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 stat: Support hybrid --topdown option

Since for cpu_core or cpu_atom, they have different topdown events
groups.

For cpu_core, --topdown equals to:

"{slots,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/,cpu_core/topdown-bad-spec/,
cpu_core/topdown-fe-bound/,cpu_core/topdown-be-bound/,
cpu_core/topdown-heavy-ops/,cpu_core/topdown-br-mispredict/,
cpu_core/topdown-fetch-lat/,cpu_core/topdown-mem-bound/}"

For cpu_atom, --topdown equals to:

"{cpu_atom/topdown-retiring/,cpu_atom/topdown-bad-spec/,
cpu_atom/topdown-fe-bound/,cpu_atom/topdown-be-bound/}"

To simplify the implementation, on hybrid, --topdown is used
together with --cputype. If without --cputype, it uses cpu_core
topdown events by default.

# ./perf stat --topdown -a sleep 1
WARNING: default to use cpu_core topdown events

perf record: Support sample-read topdown metric group

With the hardware TopDown metrics feature, sample-read feature should be
supported for a topdown group, e.g., sample a non-topdown event and read
a topdown metric group. But the current perf record code errors out.

For a topdown metric group, the slots event must be the leader of the
group, but the leader slots event doesn't support sampling.

To support sample-read the topdown metric group, use the 2nd event of
the group as the "leader" for the purposes of sampling.

Only the platform with Topdown metic feature supports sample-read the
topdown group. Add arch_topdown_sample_read() to indicate whether the
topdown group supports sample-read.

perf tools: Rename group to topdown

The group.h/c only include TopDown group related functions. The name
"group" is too generic and inaccurate. Use the name "topdown" to replace
it.

Move topdown related functions to a dedicated file, topdown.c.
