perf evlist: Refactor evlist__scnprintf_evsels()

Switch output to using a strbuf so the storage can be resized.

Add a maximum size argument to avoid too much output that may happen for
uncore events.

Rename as scnprintf is no longer used.

Committer testing:

  With the patch applied:

  root@number:~# perf probe -x ~/bin/perf evlist__format_evsels
  Added new event:
    probe_perf:evlist_format_evsels (on evlist__format_evsels in /home/acme/bin/perf)

  You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

  	perf record -e probe_perf:evlist_format_evsels -aR sleep 1

  root@number:~# perf probe -l
    probe_perf:evlist_format_evsels (on evlist__format_evsels@util/evlist.c in /home/acme/bin/perf)
  root@number:~# perf trace -e probe_perf:*/max-stack=10/ perf record -e cycles,instructions,cache-misses /tmp/bla
