Previously these were being ignored, sometimes silently.

Stop doing that, emitting debug messages and handling the errors.

Testing it:

  $ cat ~/.perfconfig
  cat: /home/acme/.perfconfig: No such file or directory
  $ perf stat -e cycles usleep 1

   Performance counter stats for 'usleep 1':

           938,996      cycles:u

       0.003813731 seconds time elapsed

  $ perf top --stdio
  Error:
  You may not have permission to collect system-wide stats.

  Consider tweaking /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid,
