perf parse-events: Extra care around force grouped events

Perf metric (topdown) events on Intel Icelake+ machines require a
group, however, they may be next to events that don't require a group.
Consider:

  cycles,slots,topdown-fe-bound

The cycles event needn't be grouped but slots and topdown-fe-bound need
grouping.

Prior to this change, as slots and topdown-fe-bound need a group forcing
and all events share the same PMU, slots and topdown-fe-bound would be
forced into a group with cycles.

This is a bug on two fronts, cycles wasn't supposed to be grouped and
cycles can't be a group leader with a perf metric event.

This change adds recognition that cycles isn't force grouped and so it
shouldn't be force grouped with slots and topdown-fe-bound.
