[PATCH v2 11/16] perf parse-events: Improve error message for bad numbers

[Ian Rogers <irogers@google.com>]

Use the error handler from the parse_state to give a more informative
error message.

Before:
```
$ perf stat -e 'cycles/period=99999999999999999999/' true
event syntax error: 'cycles/period=99999999999999999999/'
                                  \___ parser error
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

    -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
```

After:
```
$ perf stat -e 'cycles/period=99999999999999999999/' true
event syntax error: 'cycles/period=99999999999999999999/'
                                  \___ parser error

event syntax error: '..les/period=99999999999999999999/'
                                  \___ Bad base 10 number "99999999999999999999"
Run 'perf list' for a list of valid events

 Usage: perf stat [<options>] [<command>]

    -e, --event <event>   event selector. use 'perf list' to list available events
```
