perf list: Generalize limiting to a PMU name

Deprecate the --cputype option and add a --unit option where '--unit
cpu_atom' behaves like '--cputype atom'. The --unit option can be used
with arbitrary PMUs, for example:

```
$ perf list --unit msr pmu

List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):

  msr/aperf/                                         [Kernel PMU event]
  msr/cpu_thermal_margin/                            [Kernel PMU event]
  msr/mperf/                                         [Kernel PMU event]
  msr/pperf/                                         [Kernel PMU event]
  msr/smi/                                           [Kernel PMU event]
  msr/tsc/                                           [Kernel PMU event]
```
