Fix: liblttng-ctl comm: lttng_event_field is not packed
Observed issue
==============
For MI testing where the lttng-sessiond is 64 bit and the lttng CLI is
32 bit, the tracepoint field listing fails with partial garbage output.
The size of the struct differs between bitness for x86-64 and x86
leading to serialization/deserialization problem across client
(liblttng-ctl) and lttng-sessiond.
sizeof(struct lttng_event_field):
x86: 1136
x86-64: 1144
The struct cannot be marked as LTTNG_PACKED since it is part of the API.
Solution
========
Adopt a similar pattern to the new APIs with a "serialize" &
"create_from_buffer" approach. The only particularity is that we need to
flatten the event_field on listing.
Most of the complexity is moved to `src/common/event.c`
Known drawbacks
=========
None.
