perf pmu: Parse sysfs events directly from a file

Rather than read a sysfs events file into a 256 byte char buffer, pass
the FILE* directly to the lex/yacc parser.

This avoids there being a maximum events file size.

While changing the API, constify some arguments to remove unnecessary
casts.

Allocating the read buffer decreases the performance of pmu-scan by
around 3%.
