hi,
while preparing changes for user defined metric expressions
I also moved the expression manual parser to flex.

The reason is to have an easy and reasonable way to support
and parse multiple user-defined metric expressions from
command line or file.

I was posponing the change, but I just saw another update to
the expr manual scanner (from Kajol Jain), so cherry picked
just the expr flex code changes to get it out.

Kajol Jain,
I think it should ease up your change for unknown values marked
by '?'. Would you consider rebasing your changes on top of this?


v2 changes:
  - handle special chars properly
  - fix return value for expr__parse

Available also in:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jolsa/perf.git
  perf/metric_flex

thanks,
jirka
