perf tools: Introduce perf_target__validate() helper

The perf_target__validate function is used to check given PID/TID/UID/CPU
target options and warn if some combination is impossible. Also this can
make some arguments of parse_target_uid() function useless as it is checked
before the call via our new helper.
