Subject: [PATCH v2 05/12] perf evsel: Add a helper to get the value of a
 config field

This will be used by aux PMUs to read an already written value for
configuring their events and for also testing.

Its helper pmu_format_unpack() does the opposite of the existing
pmu_format_value() so rename that one to pmu_format_pack() so it's clear
how they are related.
