x86 arch provides the testing for conversion between tsc and perf time,
the testing is located in x86 arch folder. Move this testing out from
x86 arch folder and place it into the common testing folder, so allows
to execute tsc testing on other architectures (e.g. Arm64).
This patch removes the inclusion of "arch-tests.h" from the testing
code, this can avoid building failure if any arch has no this header
file.
Committer testing:
$ perf test -v tsc
Couldn't bump rlimit(MEMLOCK), failures may take place when creating BPF maps, etc
70: Convert perf time to TSC :
--- start ---
test child forked, pid 4032834
mmap size 528384B
1st event perf time 165409788843605 tsc 336578703793868
rdtsc time 165409788854986 tsc 336578703837038
2nd event perf time 165409788855487 tsc 336578703838935
test child finished with 0
---- end ----
Convert perf time to TSC: Ok

Adding support to return error information from parse_events function.
Following struct will be populated by parse_events function on return:
struct parse_events_error {
int idx;
char *str;
char *help;
};
where 'idx' is the position in the string where the parsing failed,
'str' contains dynamically allocated error string describing the error
and 'help' is optional help string.
The change contains reporting function, which currently does not display
anything. The code changes to supply error data for specific event types
are coming in next patches. However this is what the expected output is:
$ sudo perf record -e 'sched:krava' ls
event syntax error: 'sched:krava'
\___ unknown tracepoint
...
$ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
\___ unknown term
valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type
...
$ perf record -e cycles,cache-mises ls
event syntax error: '..es,cache-mises'
\___ parser error
...
The output functions cut the beginning of the event string so the error
starts up to 10th character and cut the end of the string of it crosses
the terminal width.
