Ian Rogers c52b600dbe perf python: Add type checking for parse_events/parse_metrics
The threads and cpus parameters in parse_events and parse_metrics
are parsed with the 'O' format specifier but blindly casted in the
C extension. If a user passes an invalid object type, this leads to
memory corruption when dereferencing the expected struct.

Add runtime PyObject_TypeCheck validations in python.c to safely
raise a TypeError if an invalid object is passed.
