There are 2 possible reasons for the event count being 0: not
supported and not counted. Perf distinguishes between these two
possibilities through `evsel->supported`, but in bperf, this value
is always false. This is because bperf is prematurely break or
continue in the evlist__for_each_cpu loop under __run_perf_stat(),
skipping the `counter->supported` assignment, resulting in bperf
incorrectly displaying <not supported> when the count is 0.

The most direct way to fix it is to do `evsel->supported` assignment
when opening an event in bperf. However, since bperf only opens
events when loading the leader, the followers are not aware of
whether the event is supported or not. Therefore, we store the
`evsel->supported` value in a common location, which is the
`perf_event_attr_map`, to achieve synchronization of event support
across perf sessions.
