perf evsel: Auto allocate resources needed for some methods

While writing the first user of the routines created from the ad-hoc
routines in the existing builtins I noticed that the resulting set of
calls was too long, reduce it by doing some best effort allocations.

Tools that need to operate on multiple threads and cpus should pre-allocate
enough resources by explicitely calling the perf_evsel__alloc_{fd,counters}
methods.
