ARM: perf: add format entry to describe event -> config mapping

It's all very well providing an events directory to userspace that
details our events in terms of "event=0xNN", but if we don't define how
to encode the "event" field in the perf attr.config, then it's a waste
of time.

This patch adds a single format entry to describe that the event field
occupies the bottom 8 bits of our config field on ARMv7.
