rr 5.8.0 does not work on i7-1355U

Start at src/PerfCounters.cc:411 and reproduce with rr record ./a.out and perf stat -e r5111c4 true on the reported i7-1355U system. Trace how rr checks branch events and compare that with perf's unsupported-event result on Linux 6.8.0-45-generic. Done means the reported hardware configuration has a verified, appropriate rr outcome instead of the current abort.

I use rr 5.8.0 on a thinkpad l13 yoga gen 4. See below failure (even if perfs work, I added the result of lscpu too)

tmp ⟩ rr record ./a.out
rr: Saving execution to trace directory `/home/ilan/.local/share/rr/a.out-6'.
[FATAL src/PerfCounters.cc:411:check_working_counters()] 
Got 0 branch events, expected at least 500.

The hardware performance counter seems to not be working. Check
that hardware performance counters are working by running
  perf stat -e r5111c4 true
and checking that it reports a nonzero number of events.
If performance counters seem to be working with 'perf', file an
rr issue, otherwise check your hardware/OS/VM configuration. Also
check that other software is not using performance counters on
this CPU.
