perf test: Avoid uncore_imc/clockticks in uniquification test
The detection of uncore_imc may happen for free running PMUs and the
clockticks event may be present on uncore_clock. Rewrite the test to
detect duplicated/deduplicated events from perf list, not hardcoded to
uncore_imc.
If perf stat fails then assume it is permissions and skip the test.
