Subject: [PATCH v2 5/6] perf evsel: Allow evsel__newtp without libtraceevent

Switch from reading the tracepoint format to reading the id directly
for the evsel config. This avoids the need to initialize
libtraceevent, plugins, etc. It is sufficient for many tracepoint
commands to work like:
$ perf stat -e sched:sched_switch true

To populate evsel->tp_format, do lazy initialization using
libtraceevent in the evsel__tp_format function (the sys and name are
saved in evsel__newtp_idx for this purpose). Reading the id should be
indicative of the format failing to load, but if not an error is
reported in evsel__tp_format. This could happen for a tracepoint with
a format that fails to parse.

As tracepoints can be parsed without libtraceevent with this, remove
the associated #ifdefs in parse-events.c.

By only lazily parsing the tracepoint format information it is hoped
this will help improve the performance of code using tracepoints but
not the format information. It also cuts down on the build and ifdef
logic.
