perf parse-events: Avoid string for PE_BP_COLON, PE_BP_SLASH

There's no need to read the string ':' or '/' for PE_BP_COLON or
PE_BP_SLASH and doing so causes parse-events.y to leak memory.

The original patch has a committer note about not using these tokens
presumably as yacc spotted they were a memory leak because no
%destructor could be run. Remove the unused token workaround as there
is now no value associated with these tokens.

Fixes: f0617f526cb0c482 ("perf parse: Allow config terms with breakpoints")
