perf tools: Add support for guest/host-only profiling 

To restrict a counter to either host or guest mode this patch introduces
two new event modifiers: G and H.

With G the counter is configured in guest-only mode and with H in
host-only mode.

@ -21,6 +21,8 @@ EVENT MODIFIERS
Events can optionally have a modifer by appending a colon and one or
more modifiers. Modifiers allow the user to restrict when events are
counted with 'u' for user-space, 'k' for kernel, 'h' for hypervisor.
Additional modifiers are 'G' for guest counting (in KVM guests) and 'H'
for host counting (not in KVM guests).
The 'p' modifier can be used for specifying how precise the instruction
address should be. The 'p' modifier is currently only implemented for
