We included a libpfm git snapshot in the PAPI 5.0 release, so the bump up
to libpfm4.3 is small. It's actually already included in PAPI git HEAD.
If we do a soonish PAPI 5.0.1 or similar, it would definitely make sense
to include libpfm4.3.
I should update the PAPI git HEAD to have matching event names in
papi_events.csv, but I want to see if the SNB names are going to change
too before we split them out (IVB and SNB have shared event names
currently)
