perf python: Handle Py_None for thread and cpu maps

Browse source 
The python stubs allow passing None for threads and cpus to the
perf.parse_events() and perf.parse_metrics() bindings. However, PyArg_ParseTuple
parses None into a Py_None object, which is not a NULL pointer.
Because the C code lacked an explicit check for Py_None, it would cast
Py_None to a pyrf_thread_map/pyrf_cpu_map struct pointer and dereference it,
causing a memory corruption crash.

Fix this pre-existing issue by explicitly checking for Py_None alongside NULL
in pyrf__parse_events, pyrf__parse_metrics, and pyrf_evsel__open.
