Metric groups contain metrics. Metrics create groups of events to
ideally be scheduled together. Often metrics refer to the same events,
for example, a cache hit and cache miss rate. Using separate event
groups means these metrics are multiplexed at different times and the
counts don't sum to 100%. More multiplexing also decreases the
accuracy of the measurement.

This change orders metrics from groups or the command line, so that
the ones with the most events are set up first. Later metrics see if
groups already provide their events, and reuse them if
possible. Unnecessary events and groups are eliminated.

RFC because:
 - without this change events within a metric may get scheduled
   together, after they may appear as part of a larger group and be
   multiplexed at different times, lowering accuracy - however, less
   multiplexing may compensate for this.
 - libbpf's hashmap is used, however, libbpf is an optional
   requirement for building perf.
 - other things I'm not thinking of.

Thanks!

v2. is the entire patch set based on acme's perf/core tree and includes a
cherry-picks. Patch 13 was sent for review to the bpf maintainers here:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200506205257.8964-2-irogers@google.com/
v1. was based on the perf metrics fixes and test sent here:
