perf pmu-events: Make the metric_constraint an enum

Rename metric_constraint to event_grouping to better explain what the
variable is used for. Switch to use an enum for encoding instead of a
string. Rather than just no constraint/grouping information or
"NO_NMI_WATCHDOG", have 4 enum values. The values encode whether to
group or not, and two cases where the behavior is dependent on either
the NMI watchdog being enabled or SMT being enabled.
