perf metricgroup: Order event groups by size

When adding event groups to the group list, insert them in size order.
This performs an insertion sort on the group list. By placing the
largest groups at the front of the group list it is possible to see if a
larger group contains the same events as a later group. This can make
the later group redundant - it can reuse the events from the large
group.  A later patch will add this sharing.
