[PATCH v19 08/19] perf, tools: Add a --no-desc flag to perf list

From: Andi Kleen <ak at linux.intel.com>
Add a --no-desc flag to perf list to not print the event descriptions
that were earlier added for JSON events. This may be useful to
get a less crowded listing.
It's still default to print descriptions as that is the more useful
default for most users.

v2: Rename --quiet to --no-desc. Add option to man page.
v18: Fix minor conflict in tools/perf/builtin-list.c; Add !desc_flag
to the newly introduced print_pmu_events() call site.
