With the hardware TopDown metrics feature, 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 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, use the 2nd event of
the group as the "leader" for the purposes of sampling.
Only the platform with Topdown metic feature supports sample-read the
topdown group. Add arch_topdown_sample_read() to indicate whether the
topdown group supports sample-read.

The group.h/c only include TopDown group related functions. The name
"group" is too generic and inaccurate. Use the name "topdown" to replace
it.
Move topdown related functions to a dedicated file, topdown.c.
