perf jevents: Add python converter script

jevents.c is large, has a dependency on an old forked version of jsmn,
and is challenging to work upon. A lot of jevents.c's complexity comes
from needing to write json and csv parsing from first principles. In
contrast python has this functionality in standard libraries and is
already a build pre-requisite for tools like asciidoc (that builds all
of the perf man pages).

Introduce jevents.py that produces identical output to jevents.c. Add a
test that runs both converter tools and validates there are no output
differences. The test can be invoked with a phony build target like:

  $ make -C tools/perf jevents-py-test

The python code deliberately tries to replicate the behavior of
jevents.c so that the output matches and transitioning tools shouldn't
introduce regressions. In some cases the code isn't as elegant as hoped,
but fixing this can be done as follow up.

Committer testing:

  $ make -C tools/perf jevents-py-test
  make: Entering directory '/var/home/acme/git/perf/tools/perf'
    BUILD:   Doing 'make -j32' parallel build
