perf list: Display the PMU name associated with a perf metric in JSON

The 'perf stat --cputype' option can be used to filter which metrics
will be applied, for this reason the JSON metrics have an associated
PMU.

List this PMU name in the 'perf list' output in JSON mode so that
tooling may access it.

An example of the new field is:
```
{
        "MetricGroup": "Backend",
        "MetricName": "tma_core_bound",
        "MetricExpr": "max(0, tma_backend_bound - tma_memory_bound)",
        "MetricThreshold": "tma_core_bound > 0.1 & tma_backend_bound > 0.2",
        "ScaleUnit": "100%",
        "BriefDescription": "This metric represents fraction of slots where ...
        "PublicDescription": "This metric represents fraction of slots where ...
        "Unit": "cpu_core"
},
```
