perf parse-events: Add debug dump of evlist if reordered

Add debug verbose output to show how evsels were reordered by
parse_events__sort_events_and_fix_groups(). For example:

```
$ perf record -v -e '{instructions,cycles}' true
Using CPUID GenuineIntel-6-B7-1
WARNING: events were regrouped to match PMUs
evlist after sorting/fixing: '{cpu_atom/instructions/,cpu_atom/cycles/},{cpu_core/instructions/,cpu_core/cycles/}'
```
