perf tools: Add support for guest/host-only profiling

To restrict a counter to either host or guest mode this patch introduces
two new event modifiers: G and H.

With G the counter is configured in guest-only mode and with H in
host-only mode.

 Events can optionally have a modifer by appending a colon and one or
 more modifiers.  Modifiers allow the user to restrict when events are
 counted with 'u' for user-space, 'k' for kernel, 'h' for hypervisor.
+Additional modifiers are 'G' for guest counting (in KVM guests) and 'H'
+for host counting (not in KVM guests).
 
 The 'p' modifier can be used for specifying how precise the instruction
 address should be. The 'p' modifier is currently only implemented for
