perf tools: Add/use PMU reverse lookup from config to name

Add perf_pmu__name_from_config that does a reverse lookup from a
config number to an alias name. The lookup is expensive as the config
is computed for every alias by filling in a perf_event_attr, but this
is only done when verbose output is enabled. The lookup also only
considers config, and not config1, config2 or config3.

An example of the output:

  $ perf stat -vv -e data_read true
  ...
  perf_event_attr:
    type                             24 (uncore_imc_free_running_0)
    size                             136
    config                           0x20ff (data_read)
    sample_type                      IDENTIFIER
    read_format                      TOTAL_TIME_ENABLED|TOTAL_TIME_RUNNING
    disabled                         1
    inherit                          1
    exclude_guest                    1
  ...

Committer notes:

Fix the python binding build by adding dummies for not strictly
needed perf_pmu__name_from_config() and perf_pmus__find_by_type().
