The dynamic sort key requires event name but specifying full event name
is rather inconvenient. This patch adds more ways to identify the event
in a more compact way.
1. If session has just one event, event name can be omitted.
2. Events can be accessed by index preceded by a percent sign.
3. A part of the name can be used, if it's not ambiguous. The partial
name should not contain ':' in it.
4. Full system + event name is still used, it should contain ':'.
So in the below example all does same thing:
$ perf record -e sched:sched_switch -a sleep 1
$ perf report -s next_pid,next_comm
$ perf report -s %1.next_pid,%1.next_comm
$ perf report -s switch.next_pid,switch.next_comm
$ perf report -s sched:sched_switch.next_pid,sched:sched_switch.next_comm
