perf trace: Postpone parsing .perfconfig trace.add_events to after --verbose is processed

When we add events via the '[trace]' section in perfconfig the command
line options are not yet processed, so when something goes wrong with
parsing those events and using --verbose is advised, we end up not
getting any more verbosity by doing so.

So just copy the trace.add_events string for later processing, after we
processed --verbose and the other command line options.
