perf parse-events: Inline parse_events_evlist_error

Inline parse_events_evlist_error that is only used in
parse_events_error. Modify parse_events_error to not report a parser
error unless errors haven't already been reported. Make it clearer
that the latter case only happens for unrecognized input.

Before:

  $ perf stat -e 'cycles/period=99999999999999999999/' true
  event syntax error: 'cycles/period=99999999999999999999/'
                                    \___ parser error

  event syntax error: '..les/period=99999999999999999999/'
                                    \___ Bad base 10 number "99999999999999999999"
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
  $ perf stat -e 'cycles:xyz' true
  event syntax error: 'cycles:xyz'
                             \___ parser error
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events

After:

  $ perf stat -e 'cycles/period=99999999999999999999/xyz' true
  event syntax error: '..les/period=99999999999999999999/xyz'
                                    \___ Bad base 10 number "99999999999999999999"
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
  $ perf stat -e 'cycles:xyz' true
  event syntax error: 'cycles:xyz'
                             \___ Unrecognized input
  Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

   Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

      -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
