libpmc: fall-back to kernel tables if pmu-events fails

On x86, the pmu_events table is the source of truth for finding
supported events. However, events not found there may still be present
in the kernel's static event tables. For example, the pmc.soft(3) events
will never be available from pmu-events.

Update pmc_allocate() to search the legacy event tables if
pmc_pmu_pmcallocate() fails to return a result. This allows both event
sources to be consulted before giving up, thus restoring pmc.soft(3) and
pmc.tsc(3) on x86.
