perf evlist: Use PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID perf ioctl to read event id
Changing the way we retrieve the event ID. Instead of parsing out
the ID out of the read data, using the PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl.
Keeping the old way in place to support kernels without
PERF_EVENT_IOC_ID ioctl support.
This will be useful for retrieving the event ID for events
with PERF_FORMAT_GROUP read format set, where it's impossible
to get correct event id out of the read call data.
