Many cases do not use the extra error information provided by
parse_events and instead pass NULL as the struct parse_events_error
pointer. Add a wrapper for those cases so that the pointer is never
NULL.

With the hardware TopDown metrics feature, the 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 are 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, uses the 2nd event of the group as the "leader"
for the purposes of sampling.
Only the platform with the TopDown metric feature supports sample-read the
topdown group. In commit acb65150a4 ("perf record: Support sample-read
topdown metric group"), it adds arch_topdown_sample_read() to indicate
whether the TopDown group supports sample-read, it should only work on the
non-hybrid systems, this patch extends the support for hybrid platforms.
Before:
# ./perf record -e "{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}:S" -a sleep 1
Error:
The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_core/topdown-retiring/).
/bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.
After:
# ./perf record -e "{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}:S" -a sleep 1

The commit 94dbfd6781 ("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

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.

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.
