perf stat: Add Topdown metrics events as default events
The Topdown Microarchitecture Analysis (TMA) Method is a structured analysis methodology to identify critical performance bottlenecks in out-of-order processors. From the Ice Lake and later platforms, the Topdown information can be retrieved from the dedicated "metrics" register, which isn't impacted by other events. Also, the Topdown metrics support both per thread/process and per core measuring. Adding Topdown metrics events as default events can enrich the default measuring information, and would not cost any extra multiplexing. Introduce arch_evlist__add_default_attrs() to allow architecture specific default events. Add the Topdown metrics events in the X86 specific arch_evlist__add_default_attrs(). Other architectures can add their own default events later separately.
