perf parse-regs: Improve error output when faced with unknown register name

Add quotes around the register name and suggest using 'perf record -I?'
to get the list of available registers.

Before:

  # perf record -Idi,xmm20,xmm1
  Warning:
  unknown register xmm20, check man page

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
                            sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use -I ? to list register names
  #
  # perf record -Idi,xmm20,xmm1
  Warning:
  unknown register "xmm20", check man page or run "perf record -I?"

   Usage: perf record [<options>] [<command>]
      or: perf record [<options>] -- <command> [<options>]

      -I, --intr-regs[=<any register>]
                            sample selected machine registers on interrupt, use -I ? to list register names
