perf: Clean up power events by introducing new, more generic ones



Add these new power trace events:

 power:cpu_idle
 power:cpu_frequency
 power:machine_suspend

The old C-state/idle accounting events:
  power:power_start
  power:power_end

Have now a replacement (but we are still keeping the old
tracepoints for compatibility):

  power:cpu_idle

and
  power:power_frequency

is replaced with:
  power:cpu_frequency

power:machine_suspend is newly introduced.

Jean Pihet has a patch integrated into the generic layer
(kernel/power/suspend.c) which will make use of it.

the type= field got removed from both, it was never
used and the type is differed by the event type itself.

perf timechart userspace tool gets adjusted in a separate patch.
