perf expr: Make the evaluation of & and | logical and lazy
Currently the & and | operators are only used in metric thresholds like (from the tma_retiring metric): tma_retiring > 0.7 | tma_heavy_operations > 0.1 Thresholds are always computed when present, but a lack of events may mean the threshold can't be computed. This happens with the option --metric-no-threshold for say the metric tma_retiring on Tigerlake model CPUs. To fully compute the threshold tma_heavy_operations is needed and it needs the extra events of IDQ.MS_UOPS, UOPS_DECODED.DEC0, cpu/UOPS_DECODED.DEC0,cmask=1/ and IDQ.MITE_UOPS. So --metric-no-threshold is a useful option to reduce the number of events needed and potentially multiplexing of events. Rather than just fail threshold computations like this, we may know a result from just the left or right-hand side. So, for tma_retiring if its value is "> 0.7" we know it is over the threshold. This allows the metric to have the threshold coloring, when possible, without all the counters being programmed.
