Currently the 'MetricExpr' json value is passed from the json
file to the pmu-events.c. This change introduces an expression
tree that is parsed into. The parsing is done largely by using
operator overloading and python's 'eval' function. Two advantages
in doing this are:
1) Broken metrics fail at compile time rather than relying on
`perf test` to detect. `perf test` remains relevant for checking
event encoding and actual metric use.
2) The conversion to a string from the tree can minimize the metric's
string size, for example, preferring 1e6 over 1000000, avoiding
multiplication by 1 and removing unnecessary whitespace. On x86
this reduces the string size by 2,930bytes (0.07%).
In future changes it would be possible to programmatically
generate the json expressions (a single line of text and so a
pain to write manually) for an architecture using the expression
tree. This could avoid copy-pasting metrics for all architecture
variants.
v4. Doesn't simplify "0*SLOTS" to 0, as the pattern is used to fix
Intel metrics with topdown events.
v3. Avoids generic types on standard types like set that aren't
supported until Python 3.9, fixing an issue with Python 3.6
reported-by John Garry. v3 also fixes minor pylint issues and adds
a call to Simplify on the read expression tree.
v2. Improvements to type information.

Add the event description for the IBM z16 pai_crypto PMU released with
commit 1bf54f32f525 ("s390/pai: Add support for cryptography counters")
The document SA22-7832-13 "z/Architecture Principles of Operation",
published May, 2022, contains the description of the
Processor Activity Instrumentation Facility and the cryptography
counter set., See Pages 5-110 to 5-113.
Patch reworked to fit for the converted jevents processing.
Committer notes:
Couldn't find 1bf54f32f525 ("s390/pai: Add support for cryptography
counters") in torvalds/master, in what tree is that cset?

jevents.c is large, has a dependency on an old forked version of jsmn,
and is challenging to work upon. A lot of jevents.c's complexity comes
from needing to write json and csv parsing from first principles. In
contrast python has this functionality in standard libraries and is
already a build pre-requisite for tools like asciidoc (that builds all
of the perf man pages).
Introduce jevents.py that produces identical output to jevents.c. Add a
test that runs both converter tools and validates there are no output
differences. The test can be invoked with a phony build target like:
$ make -C tools/perf jevents-py-test
The python code deliberately tries to replicate the behavior of
jevents.c so that the output matches and transitioning tools shouldn't
introduce regressions. In some cases the code isn't as elegant as hoped,
but fixing this can be done as follow up.
