perf: Export software-only event group characteristic as a flag



Before scheduling an event group, we first check if a group can go
on. We first check if the group is made of software only events
first, in which case it is enough to know if the group can be
scheduled in.

For that purpose, we iterate through the whole group, which is
wasteful as we could do this check when we add/delete an event to
a group.

So we create a group_flags field in perf event that can host
characteristics from a group of events, starting with a first
PERF_GROUP_SOFTWARE flag that reduces the check on the fast path.
