perf tools: Fix modifier to be applied on correct events

The event modifier needs to be applied only on the event definition it
is attached to.

The current state is that in case of multiple events definition (in
single '-e' option, separated by ',') all will get modifier of the last
one.

Fixing this by adding separated list for each event definition, so the
modifier is applied only to proper event(s). Added automated test to
catch this, plus some other modifier tests.

+     - If this state is a consistent state with a default action, then
+       the only way this function was invoked is if the default action
+       is an error action.  In that case, don't check for expected
+       tokens because there are none.
+     - The only way there can be no lookahead present (in yychar) is if
+       this state is a consistent state with a default action.  Thus,
+       detecting the absence of a lookahead is sufficient to determine
+       that there is no unexpected or expected token to report.  In that
+       case, just report a simple "syntax error".
+     - Don't assume there isn't a lookahead just because this state is a
+       consistent state with a default action.  There might have been a
+       previous inconsistent state, consistent state with a non-default
+       action, or user semantic action that manipulated yychar.
+     - Of course, the expected token list depends on states to have
+       correct lookahead information, and it depends on the parser not
+       to perform extra reductions after fetching a lookahead from the
+       scanner and before detecting a syntax error.  Thus, state merging
+       (from LALR or IELR) and default reductions corrupt the expected
+       token list.  However, the list is correct for canonical LR with
+       one exception: it will still contain any token that will not be
+       accepted due to an error action in a later state.
