perf parse-events: Legacy cache names on all PMUs and lower priority

Prior behavior is to not look for legacy cache names in sysfs/JSON and
to create events on all core PMUs. New behavior is to look for
sysfs/JSON events first on all PMUs, for core PMUs add a legacy event
if the sysfs/JSON event isn't present.

This is done so that there is consistency with how event names in
terms are handled and their prioritization of sysfs/JSON over
legacy. It may make sense to use a legacy cache event name as an event
name on a non-core PMU so we should allow it.
