perf trace: Allow specifying list of syscalls and events in -e/--expr/--event

Makes it easier to specify both events and syscalls (to be formatter
strace-like), i.e. previously one would have to do:

  # perf trace -e nanosleep --event sched:sched_switch usleep 1

Now it is possible to do:

  # perf trace -e nanosleep,sched:sched_switch usleep 1
     0.000 ( 0.021 ms): usleep/17962 nanosleep(rqtp: 0x7ffdedd61ec0) ...
     0.021 (         ): sched:sched_switch:usleep:17962 [120] S ==> swapper/1:0 [120])
     0.000 ( 0.066 ms): usleep/17962  ... [continued]: nanosleep()) = 0
  #

The old style --expr and using both -e and --event continues to work.
