perf evlist: Fix evlist__new_default() for > 1 core PMU

Browse Source 
The 'Session topology' test currently fails with this message when
evlist__new_default() opens more than one event:

  32: Session topology                                                :

  Session topology: FAILED!

This is because when re-opening the file and parsing the header, Perf
expects that any file that has more than one event has the sample ID
flag set. Perf record already sets the flag in a similar way when there
is more than one event, so add the same logic to evlist__new_default().

evlist__new_default() is only currently used in tests, so I don't
expect this change to have any other side effects. The other tests that
use it don't save and re-open the file so don't hit this issue.

The session topology test has been failing on Arm big.LITTLE platforms
since commit 251aa040244a ("perf parse-events: Wildcard most
"numeric" events") when evlist__new_default() started opening multiple
events for 'cycles'.
