Subject: [PATCH v2 01/13] perf tools: Add overwrite attribute to evsel and check write_backward

Add 'overwrite' attribute to evsel to mark whether this event is set
overwritable. Following commits will support syntax like
 # perf record -e cycles/overwrite/ ...

Overwritable evsel require kernel support write_backward. Add it to
perf_missing_feature.
