perf test: Parse events workaround for dash/minus

Skip an event configuration for event names with a dash/minus in them.
Events with a dash/minus in their name cause parsing issues as legacy
encoding of events would use a dash/minus as a separator.

The parser separates events with dashes into prefixes and suffixes and
then recombines them. Unfortunately if an event has part of its name
that matches a legacy token then the recombining fails.

This is seen for branch-brs where branch is a legacy token. branch-brs
was introduced to sysfs in:

  https://lore.kernel.org/all/[email protected]/

The failure is shown below as well as the workaround to use a config
where the dash/minus isn't treated specially:

```
  $ perf stat -e branch-brs true
  event syntax error: 'branch-brs'
                             \___ parser error

  $ perf stat -e cpu/branch-brs/ true

   Performance counter stats for 'true':

              46,179      cpu/branch-brs/
```
