perf tools: Accept case-insensitive symbolic event variants

We currently fail on something like '-e CPU-migrations', with:

  invalid or unsupported event: 'CPU-migrations'

While 'CPU-migrations' is how we actually print out the event
in the default perf stat output:

 Performance counter stats for 'true':

          0.202204 task-clock-msecs         #      0.282 CPUs
                 0 context-switches         #      0.000 M/sec
                 0 CPU-migrations           #      0.000 M/sec

So change the matching to be case-insensitive.
