perf tools: By default use the most precise "cycles" hw counter available

perf tools: By default use the most precise "cycles" hw counter available

If the user doesn't specify any event, try the most precise "cycles"
available, i.e. start by "cycles:ppp" and go on removing "p" till it
works.

E.g.

  $ perf record usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.017 MB perf.data (11 samples) ]
  $ perf evlist
  cycles:pp
  $ perf evlist -v
  cycles:pp: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
  IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1,
  enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, precise_ip: 2, sample_id_all: 1,
  exclude_guest: 1, mmap2: 1, comm_exec: 1
  $ grep 'model name' /proc/cpuinfo | head -1
  model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3667U CPU @ 2.00GHz
  $

When 'cycles' appears explicitely is specified this will not be tried,
i.e. the user has full control of the level of precision to be used:

  $ perf record -e cycles usleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.016 MB perf.data (9 samples) ]
  $ perf evlist
  cycles
  $ perf evlist -v
  cycles: size: 112, { sample_period, sample_freq }: 4000, sample_type:
  IP|TID|TIME|PERIOD, disabled: 1, inherit: 1, mmap: 1, comm: 1, freq: 1,
  enable_on_exec: 1, task: 1, sample_id_all: 1, exclude_guest: 1, mmap2:
  1, comm_exec: 1
