From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Changes since V3:
- Move the full name (PMU + metricgroup name) generation from the metric
code to the output code. (Ian)
- Add default tags for Hisi hip08 L1 metrics (John)
- Some patches have been merged. Drop them from the V4.

Changes since V2:
- Fixes memory leak (Ian)
(Ian, I cannot reproduce the memory leak on all my machines. Please
check whether the fix works on your side. Thanks.)
- Add Reviewed-by tags for several patches.

Changes since V1:
- Remove EVSEL_EVENT_MASK and use the __evsel__match which is suggested
by Ian.
- Support TopdownL1 on both e-core and p-core of ADL in the default
mode. (Ian)
- Have separate patches for the modifications of metricgroup and output.
(Ian)
- Does 2nd sort for the Default metricgroup. Remove the logic of
changing the associated metric event. (Ian)
- Move all the metric related code to stat-shadow (Ian)
- Move the commong functions between stat+csv_output and stat+std_output
to the lib directory (Ian)

In the default mode, the current output of the metricgroup include both
events and metrics, which is not necessary and makes the output hard to
read. Also, different ARCHs (even different generations of the ARCH) may
have a different output format because of the different events in a
metrics.

The patch proposes a new output format which only outputting the value
of each metric and the metricgroup name. It can brings a clean and
consistent output format among ARCHs and generations.

The patches 1-2 introduce the new metricgroup output.

The patches 3-4 improve the tests to cover the default mode.

The patch 5 update the event list for Hisi hip08.

Here are some examples for the new output.
