[v3,1/7] perf probe: Improve detection of file/function name in the probe pattern

Currently, perf probe considers patterns including a '.' to be a file.
However, this causes problems on powerpc ABIv1 where all functions have
a leading '.':

  $ perf probe -F | grep schedule_timeout_interruptible
  .schedule_timeout_interruptible
  $ perf probe .schedule_timeout_interruptible
  Semantic error :File always requires line number or lazy pattern.
    Error: Command Parse Error.

Fix this:
- by checking the probe pattern in more detail, and
- skipping leading dot if one exists when creating/deleting events.

Changes:
- Folded initial part of patch 04 [now 03] into this per Masami.
- Moved to using a bool file_spec and some whitespace changes.

Just gave this a real quick look, saw no problems, but I'll defer this
to Masami, a reviewed-by tag from him, ok Masami?
