lttng-ctl: add event field value API
This patch adds a new read-only event field value API to liblttng-ctl.
It also adds the internal functions to create such objects.
As of this patch, an event field value is one of:
* An unsigned integer (64-bit).
* A signed integer (64-bit).
* An unsigned enumeration (64-bit).
* A signed enumeration (64-bit).
* A real number (double precision).
* A string (UTF-8).
* An array of zero or more event field values.
The first purpose of this API will be to access the captured field
values of a notification's trigger condition evaluation.
An enumeration event field value conceptually is an integer event field
value, therefore lttng_event_field_value_unsigned_int_get_value() works
for an unsigned enumeration and
lttng_event_field_value_signed_int_get_value() works for a signed
enumeration.
The compound event field values (array only, as of this patch) can
return the `LTTNG_EVENT_FIELD_VALUE_STATUS_UNAVAILABLE` status when you
access a contained event field value. This indicates that there is no
field at this location. For the captured field value use case, it means
the event did not have any field at that position considering the
condition's capture descriptors. Internally, call
lttng_event_field_value_array_append_unavailable() to append an
unavailable event field value to an array field value.
The lttng_event_field_value_array_get_element_at_index() function can
also return an event field value of which the type, as returned by
lttng_event_field_value_get_type(), is
`LTTNG_EVENT_FIELD_VALUE_TYPE_UNKNOWN`. This is different from the
`LTTNG_EVENT_FIELD_VALUE_STATUS_UNAVAILABLE` status: the event field
value exists (which is why there's a valid
`struct lttng_event_field_value *`), but its type is unknown by this
version of the library. This makes it possible to add new event field
value types in the future while remaining forward compatible.
Note that enumeration labels will not visible to clients since the
kernel tracer does not make their content accessible to the session
daemon.
