perf vendor events arm64: Remove uncountable events

These events are never countable by the PMU and are only intended to
be used as external inputs to trace. Therefore showing them in 'perf
list' is misleading so remove them.

The generator script doesn't emit these events when used with the new
telemetry-solution input files [1].

'perf list' should only show countable events because there are events
that are sometimes implemented, sometimes countable and sometimes not,
for example TRB_TRIG. If we always include any implemented events
whether they are countable or not then it's not possible to tell whether
they are usable in perf without going to the docs, defeating the point
of 'perf list'.

It's also not useful yet to display implemented events that are not
countable (for help in using trace rather than perf stat), because
PMU_OVFS and PMU_HOVFS are practically always implemented and TRB_TRIG
is always implemented when there is TRBE.
