Subject: [PATCH v6 10/14] perf python: Add parse_metrics function

Add parse_metrics function that takes a string of metrics and/or
metric groups and returns the evlist containing the events and
metrics.

For example:
```
>>> import perf
>>> perf.parse_metrics("TopdownL1")
evlist([cpu/TOPDOWN.SLOTS/,cpu/topdown-retiring/,cpu/topdown-fe-bound/,
cpu/topdown-be-bound/,cpu/topdown-bad-spec/,cpu/INT_MISC.CLEARS_COUNT/,
cpu/INT_MISC.UOP_DROPPING/])
```
