Updating event parser to allow any non zero string containing
[ukhpGH] characters for event modifier.

The modifier sanity is checked later in parse-event object logic.
The check validates modifier to contain only one instance of any
modifier (apart from 'p') present.

v2:
  - added length check suggested Namhyung Kim
