perf/x86/intel/uncore: Add alias PMU name
A perf PMU may have two PMU names. For example, Intel Sapphire Rapids server supports the discovery mechanism. Without the platform-specific support, an uncore PMU is named by a type ID plus a box ID, e.g., uncore_type_0_0, because the real name of the uncore PMU cannot be retrieved from the discovery table. With the platform-specific support later, perf has the mapping information from a type ID to a specific uncore unit. Just like the previous platforms, the uncore PMU is named by the real PMU name, e.g., uncore_cha_0. The user scripts which work well with the old numeric name may not work anymore. Add a new attribute "alias" to indicate the old numeric name. The following userspace perf tool patch will handle both names. The user scripts should work properly with the updated perf tool.
