perf evlist: Remove nr_groups
Maintaining the number of groups during event parsing is problematic
and since changing to sort/regroup events can only be computed by a
linear pass over the evlist. As the value is generally only used in
tests, rather than hold it in a variable compute it by passing over
the evlist when necessary.
This change highlights that libpfm's counting of groups with a single
entry disagreed with regular event parsing. The libpfm tests are
updated accordingly.
