perf metric: Allow metrics with no events

A metric may be a constant value, for example, some SMT metrics are
constant 0 if #smt_on is 0. If we eliminate all the events then there is
no printing. Fix this by forcing metrics like this to have a
duration_time tool event, previously the metric would fail when parsing
the events with a parse error.
