perf tools: Fix crash on synthesizing the unit

Adam reported a record command crash for simple session like:

  $ perf record -e cpu-clock ls

with following backtrace:

  Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
  3543            ev = event_update_event__new(size + 1, PERF_EVENT_UPDATE__UNIT, evsel->id[0]);
  (gdb) bt
  #0  perf_event__synthesize_event_update_unit
  #1  0x000000000051e469 in perf_event__synthesize_extra_attr
  #2  0x00000000004445cb in record__synthesize
  #3  0x0000000000444bc5 in __cmd_record
  ...

We synthesize an update event that needs to touch the evsel id array,
which is not defined at that time. Fix this by forcing the id allocation
for events with their unit defined.

Reflecting possible read_format ID bit in the attr tests.
