perf evswitch: Add hint when not finding specified on/off events
If the user specifies a on or off switch event and it isn't in the
perf.data file, provide a hint about how to see the events in the
perf.data evlist:
# perf script --switch-on=syscall:sys_enter_nanosleep --switch-off=syscalls:sys_exit_nanosleep
ERROR: event_on event not found (syscall:sys_enter_nanosleep)
HINT: use 'perf evlist' to see the available event names
