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/20220322221517.2510440-5-eranian@google.com/
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/
```
