Ian Rogers abcff00014 perf parse-events: Add terms for legacy hardware and cache config values
Add the PMU terms legacy-hardware-config and
legacy-cache-config. These terms are similar to the config term in
that their values are assigned to the perf_event_attr config
value. They differ in that the PMU type is switched to be either
PERF_TYPE_HARDWARE or PERF_TYPE_HW_CACHE, and the PMU type is moved
into the extended type information of the config value. This will
allow later patches to add legacy events to json.

An example use of the terms is in the following:
```
$ perf stat -vv -e 'cpu/legacy-hardware-config=1/,cpu/legacy-cache-config=0x10001/' true
Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-8D-1
Attempt to add: cpu/legacy-hardware-config=0x1/
..after resolving event: cpu/legacy-hardware-config=0x1/
Attempt to add: cpu/legacy-cache-config=0x10001/
..after resolving event: cpu/legacy-cache-config=0x10001/
