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)
