Subject: [PATCH 09/11] perf tools: Add 'S' event/group modifier to read sample value

Adding 'S' event/group modifier to specify that the event value/s
are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing, instead of the
period value offered by lower layers.

There's additional behaviour change for 'S' modifier being specified
on event group:

Currently all the events within a group makes samples. If user now
specifies 'S' within group modifier, only the leader will trigger
samples. The rest of events in the group will have sampling disabled.

And same as for single events, values of all events within the group
(including leader) are read by PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing.

Following example will create event group with cycles and cache-misses
events, setting the cycles as group leader and the only event to actually
sample. Both cycles and cache-misses event period values are read by
PERF_SAMPLE_READ sample type processing with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format.

Example:

  $ perf record -e '{cycles,cache-misses}:S' ls
  ...
  $ perf report --group --show-total-period --stdio
  ...
  # Samples: 36  of event 'anon group { cycles, cache-misses }'
  # Event count (approx.): 12585593
  #
