tools/perf/stat: Add event unit and scale support

This patch adds perf stat support for handling event units and
scales as exported by the kernel.

The kernel can export PMU events actual unit and scaling factor
via sysfs:

  $ ls -1 /sys/devices/power/events/energy-*
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.scale
  /sys/devices/power/events/energy-pkg.unit
  $ cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.scale
  2.3283064365386962890625e-10
  $ cat cat /sys/devices/power/events/energy-cores.unit
  Joules

This patch modifies the pmu event alias code to check
for the presence of the .unit and .scale files to load
the corresponding values. They are then used by perf stat
transparently:

   # perf stat -a -e power/energy-pkg/,power/energy-cores/,cycles -I 1000 sleep 1000
   #          time             counts   unit events
       1.000214717               3.07 Joules power/energy-pkg/         [100.00%]
       1.000214717               0.53 Joules power/energy-cores/
       1.000214717           12965028        cycles                    [100.00%]
       2.000749289               3.01 Joules power/energy-pkg/
       2.000749289               0.52 Joules power/energy-cores/
       2.000749289           15817043        cycles

When the event does not have an explicit unit exported by
the kernel, nothing is printed. In csv output mode, there
will be an empty field.

Special thanks to Jiri for providing the supporting code
in the parser to trigger reading of the scale and unit files.
