perf probe: Change probe-added message more user-friendly

Change probe-added message more user-friendly expression and
show usage of new events.

Before:
Added new event: p:probe/schedule_0 schedule+10 prev=%ax cpu=%bx

After:
Added new event:
  probe:schedule_1                         (on schedule+1 with prev cpu)

You can now use it on all perf tools, such as:

        perf record -e probe:schedule_1 -a sleep 1
