perf jevents: Make build fail on JSON parse error
Today, when a JSON file fails parsing the build continues, but there are no json files built in, which is difficult to debug later. Make the build stop on a parse error instead. v2: Add fixes from Sukadev. Now we handle architectures with no JSON events correctly. And fix some stale comments. Committer note: Tested by running the cross build container tests, that were all failing for v1.
