perf evlist: Save branch counters information

Browse source 
The branch counters logging (A.K.A LBR event logging) introduces a
per-counter indication of precise event occurrences in LBRs. The kernel
only dumps the number of occurrences into a record. The perf tool has
to map the number to the corresponding event.

Add evlist__update_br_cntr() to go through the evlist to pick the
events that are configured to be logged. Assign a logical idx to track
them, and add the total number of the events in the leader event.

The total number will be used to allocate the space to save the branch
counters for a block. The logical idx will be used to locate the
corresponding event quickly in the following patches.

It only needs to iterate the evlist once. The
evsel__has_branch_counters() is also optimized.
