Fix: load event state (enabled/disabled) correctly

This bug fix is a workaround due to limitations of lttng_disable_event_ext
regarding the disabling of events with similar name but different
characteristics. Although lttng_disable_event_ext provides support for
disabling by name and filter string it does not support exclusion.

The loading of events is cut in 3 phases.

1 - Create all events regardless of their state.
2 - Disable all events.
3 - Enable only the events with the 'enabled' state.

Fixes #959
