Enable perf PMU counters by raw ID

Allow enabling perf PMU counters by raw ID in addition to the generic
list already provided. The format for kernel tracing is
"perf:cpu:raw:rNNN:<name>" and "perf:thread:raw:rNNN:<name> for
user-space. The rNNN format is the same as perf-record(1) where NNN is a
hexadecimal event descriptor in the form of umask+eventsel. The <name>
field to associate a clearer name to the counter.

Example usage on Intel i7-3520M to get the unhalted reference cycles
(eventsel: 0x13c) count at privilege level 0 (umask: 0x00):
lttng add-context -k -t perf:cpu:raw:r0013c:x86unhalted

Result in the trace:
sched_switch: { cpu_id = 3 }, {
perf_cpu_raw_r0013c_x86unhalted = 27632578 }, [...]
