perf tools: Enable passing event to BPF object
A new syntax is added to the parser so that the user can access
predefined perf events in BPF objects.
After this patch, BPF programs for perf are finally able to utilize
bpf_perf_event_read() introduced in commit 35578d798400 ("bpf: Implement
function bpf_perf_event_read() that get the selected hardware PMU
counter").
Test result:
