perf list: Add JSON output option

Output events and metrics in a JSON format by overriding the print
callbacks. Currently other command line options aren't supported and
metrics are repeated once per metric group.

Committer testing:

  $ perf list cache

  List of pre-defined events (to be used in -e or -M):

    L1-dcache-load-misses                              [Hardware cache event]
