[PATCH 09/74] perf evsel: Introduce perf_evsel__open_strerror method

[Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@infradead.org>]

From: Arnaldo Carvalho de Melo <acme@redhat.com>

That consolidates the error messages in 'record', 'stat' and 'top', that
now get a consistent set of messages and allow other tools to use the
new method to report problems using whatever UI toolkit.
