perf record: Support sample-read topdown metric group for hybrid platforms

With the hardware TopDown metrics feature, the sample-read feature should
be supported for a TopDown group, e.g., sample a non-topdown event and read
a Topdown metric group. But the current perf record code errors are out.

For a TopDown metric group,the slots event must be the leader of the group,
but the leader slots event doesn't support sampling. To support sample-read
the TopDown metric group, uses the 2nd event of the group as the "leader"
for the purposes of sampling.

Only the platform with the TopDown metric feature supports sample-read the
topdown group. In commit acb65150a4 ("perf record: Support sample-read
topdown metric group"), it adds arch_topdown_sample_read() to indicate
whether the TopDown group supports sample-read, it should only work on the
non-hybrid systems, this patch extends the support for hybrid platforms.

Before:

  # ./perf record -e "{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}:S" -a sleep 1
  Error:
  The sys_perf_event_open() syscall returned with 22 (Invalid argument) for event (cpu_core/topdown-retiring/).
  /bin/dmesg | grep -i perf may provide additional information.

After:

  # ./perf record -e "{cpu_core/slots/,cpu_core/cycles/,cpu_core/topdown-retiring/}:S" -a sleep 1
  [ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
  [ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.238 MB perf.data (369 samples) ]
