perf stat: Uniquify event name improvements



Without aggregation on Intel:
```
$ perf stat -e instructions,cycles ...
```
Will use "cycles" for the name of the legacy cycles event but as
"instructions" has a sysfs name it will and a "[cpu]" PMU suffix. This
often breaks things as the space between the event and the PMU name
look like an extra column. The existing uniquify logic was also
uniquifying in cases when all events are core and not with uncore
events, it was not correctly handling modifiers, etc.

Change the logic so that an initial pass that can disable
uniquification is run. For individual counters, disable uniquification
in more cases such as for consistency with legacy events or for
libpfm4 events. Don't use the "[pmu]" style suffix in uniquification,
always use "pmu/.../". Change how modifiers/terms are handled in the
uniquification so that they look like parse-able events.

This fixes "102: perf stat metrics (shadow stat) test:" that has been
failing due to "instructions [cpu]" breaking its column/awk logic when
values aren't aggregated. This started happening when instructions
could match a sysfs rather than a legacy event, so the fixes tag
reflects this.
