perf_counter: Separate out attr->type from attr->config

Counter type is a frequently used value and we do a lot of
bit juggling by encoding and decoding it from attr->config.

Clean this up by creating a separate attr->type field.

Also clean up the various similarly complex user-space bits
all around counter attribute management.

The net improvement is significant, and it will be easier
to add a new major type (which is what triggered this cleanup).

(This changes the ABI, all tools are adapted.)
(PowerPC build-tested.)
