perf evsel: Give warning for broken Intel topdown event grouping

Extend arch_evsel__open_strerror() from just AMD IBS events to Intel
core PMU events, to give a message when a slots event isn't a group
leader or when a perf metric event is duplicated within an event
group.

As generating the warning happens after non-arch specific warnings are
generated, disable the missing system wide (-a) flag warning for the
core PMU.

This assumes core PMU events should support per-thread/process and
system-wide.
