perf tools: Add term support for parse_events_error

Allowing event's term processing to report back error, like:

  $ perf record -e 'cpu/even=0x1/' ls
  event syntax error: 'cpu/even=0x1/'
                           \___ unknown term

  valid terms: pc,any,inv,edge,cmask,event,in_tx,ldlat,umask,in_tx_cp,offcore_rsp,config,config1,config2,name,period,branch_type

[ Renamed 'error' variables to 'err', not to clash with util.h error() ]
