perf parse-events: Improve error message for bad numbers

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
