Ian Rogers 9118259c1d perf jevents: Compress the pmu_events_table
The pmu_events array requires 15 pointers per entry which in position
independent code need relocating. Change the array to be an array of
offsets within a big C string. Only the offset of the first variable is
required, subsequent variables are stored in order after the \0
terminator (requiring a byte per variable rather than 4 bytes per
offset).

The file size savings are:

no jevents - the same 19,788,464bytes
x86 jevents - ~16.7% file size saving 23,744,288bytes vs 28,502,632bytes
all jevents - ~19.5% file size saving 24,469,056bytes vs 30,379,920bytes
default build options plus NO_LIBBFD=1.

For example, the x86 build savings come from .rela.dyn and
.data.rel.ro becoming smaller by 3,157,032bytes and 3,042,016bytes
respectively. .rodata increases by 1,432,448bytes, giving an overall
4,766,600bytes saving.

To make metric strings more shareable, the topic is changed from say
'skx metrics' to just 'metrics'.

To try to help with the memory layout the pmu_events are ordered as used
by perf qsort comparator functions.
