perf mem: Add -e record option

Adding -e option for perf mem record command, to be able to specify
memory event directly.

Get list of available events:

  $ perf mem record -e list
  ldlat-loads
  ldlat-stores

Monitor ldlat-loads:
  $ perf mem record -e ldlat-loads true

Committer notes:

Further testing:

  # perf mem record -e ldlat-loads true
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.020 MB perf.data (10 samples) ]
  # perf evlist
  cpu/mem-loads,ldlat=30/P
