perf tool: Improve bash command line auto-complete for multiple events with comma



perf has perf-completion.sh to define command line auto-completion in
bash/zsh.

For record/stat -e it works for single events, but isn't working when
specifying multiple events with comma.

It would be very useful if it could be fixed to make it easier by
supporting multiple events, comma separated.

With this patch, the result can be like this:

1. Support the events returned from 'perf list --raw-dump'

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache<TAB>
cpu/cache-misses/      cpu/cache-references/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/branch-<TAB>
cpu/branch-instructions/  cpu/branch-misses/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/branch-i<TAB>
root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/branch-instructions/

2. Support the events listed in /sys/bus/event_source/devices/cpu/events

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycle<TAB>
cycle_activity.cycles_l1d_miss  cycle_activity.stalls_l3_miss
cycle_activity.cycles_l2_miss   cycle_activity.stalls_mem_any
cycle_activity.cycles_l3_miss   cycle_activity.stalls_total
cycle_activity.cycles_mem_any   cycles-ct
cycle_activity.stalls_l1d_miss  cycles-t
cycle_activity.stalls_l2_miss

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-<TAB>
cycles-ct  cycles-t

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-t,cpu/c<TAB>
cpu/cache-misses/      cpu/cpu-cycles/        cpu/cycles-t/
cpu/cache-references/  cpu/cycles-ct/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-t,cpu/cache-<TAB>
cpu/cache-misses/      cpu/cache-references/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cycles-t,cpu/cache-misses/

3. Support the uppercase event which is with prefix "cpu/"

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/c<TAB>
cpu/cache-misses/      cpu/cpu-cycles/        cpu/cycles-t/
cpu/cache-references/  cpu/cycles-ct/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/C<TAB>
cpu/CACHE-MISSES/      cpu/CPU-CYCLES/        cpu/CYCLES-T/
cpu/CACHE-REFERENCES/  cpu/CYCLES-CT/

root@skl:/tmp# perf stat -e cpu/cache-misses/,cpu/CACHE-REFERENCES/

Note that:

a) This patch only supports bash.

b) It doesn't support the cases like {},{} or {...,...}.
