[PATCH] perf stat: Add Topdown metrics events as default events

[kan.liang@linux.intel.com]

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

The Topdown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured
analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in
out-of-order processors. From the Ice Lake and later platforms, the
Topdown information can be retrieved from the dedicated "metrics"
register, which isn't impacted by other events. Also, the Topdown
metrics support both per thread/process and per core measuring.
Adding Topdown metrics events as default events can enrich the default
measuring information, and would not cost any extra multiplexing.

Introduce arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() to allow architecture
specific default events. Add the Topdown metrics events in the X86
specific arch_evlist__add_default_attrs(). Other architectures can
add their own default events later separately.

With the patch,

 $perf stat sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for 'sleep 1':
