perf: Dynamic pmu types

Extend the perf_pmu_register() interface to allow for named and
dynamic pmu types.

Because we need to support the existing static types we cannot use
dynamic types for everything, hence provide a type argument.

If we want to enumerate the PMUs they need a name, provide one.
