perf test all metrics: Fully ignore Default metric failures

Determine if a metric is default from `perf list --raw-dump $m` eg:
```
$ perf list --raw-dump l1_prefetch_miss_rate
Default4 l1_prefetch_miss_rate
```
If a metric has "not supported" or "no supported events" then ignore
these failures for default metrics. Tidy up the skip/fail messages in
the output to make them easier to spot/read.

```
$ perf list -vv "all metrics"
...
Testing llc_miss_rate
[Ignored llc_miss_rate] failed but as a Default metric this can be expected
Error: No supported events found. The LLC-loads event is not supported.
...
```
