[PATCH v6 2/4] tools/perf: extend format_alias() to include event parameters

From: Cody P Schafer <cody at linux.vnet.ibm.com>

This causes `perf list pmu` to show parameters for parameterized events
like:

  pmu/event_name,param1=?,param2=?/ [Kernel PMU event]

An example:

  hv_24x7/HPM_TLBIE__PHYS_CORE,core=?/ [Kernel PMU event]

Changelog[v6]
	[Jir Olsa, Sukadev Bhattiprolu] Drop the '$' sign and go back to
	just printing whatevever sysfs provides (which is '=?') to identify
	required parameters. sysfs also now uses parameters like 'core'
	and 'vcpu' rather than 'starting_index'.

Changelog[v5]
	[Jiri Olsa, Peter Zijlstra] Use '$' to prefix parameterized events.

Changelog[v4]
	[Jiri Olsa] If the parameter for an event in sysfs is 'param=val',
	have perf-list show the event as 'param=?' rather than 'val=?'.
