perf parse-events: Use wildcard processing to set an event to merge into

The merge stat code fails for uncore events if they are repeated twice,
for example `perf stat -e clockticks,clockticks -I 1000` as the counts
of the second set of uncore events will be merged into the first
counter.

Reimplement the logic to have a first_wildcard_match so that merged
later events correctly merge into the first wildcard event that they
will be aggregated into.
