perf arm-spe: Report error if set frequency

When users set the parameter '-F' to specify frequency for Arm SPE, the
tool reports error:

  perf record -F 1000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1
  Error:
  Invalid event (arm_spe_0//) in per-thread mode, enable system wide with '-a'.

The output logs are confused and it does not give the correct reminding.
Arm SPE does not support frequency setting given it adopts a statistical
based approach.

Alternatively, Arm SPE supports setting period.  This commit adds a
for frequency setting.  It reports error and reminds users to set period
instead.

After:

  perf record -F 1000 -e arm_spe_0// -- sleep 1
  Arm SPE: Frequency is not supported. Set period with -c option or PMU parameter (-e arm_spe_0/period=NUM/).
