Add a metrics table that is just a cast from pmu_events_table. This
changes the APIs so that event and metric usage of the underlying
table is different. Later changes will separate the tables.

This introduction fixes a NO_JEVENTS=1 regression on:
 68: Parse and process metrics                                       : Ok
 70: Event expansion for cgroups                                     : Ok
caused by the necessary test metrics not being found.

I have just checked some of this code so far...

I think that this code will be conflicting with the recent arm64 metric 
support. And now it seems even more scope for factoring out code.

nit on coding style: do we normally declare local variables like this? 
It condenses the code but makes a bit less readable, IMHO

To me, this is all strange code. Again this is a comment on the current 
code: Consider pmu_for_each_sys_event() as an example, we have a while 
loop for each member of pmu_sys_event_tables[]. But pmu_sys_event_tables 
is hardcoded for a single member, so why loop? It seems the same for all 
these "for each" helper in the "empty" events c file.

As I may have hinted before, can we avoid casts like this, even if 
transient?

v3 will rebase and fix.

The main reason to do it is to reduce the scope of pm to just be the
loop body. There's some discussion relating to this to do with the
move to C11:

Agreed. I think we should generate the empty case and then event if
there is just 1 iteration, we know that the code is that way because
of the auto-generation.
