tools lib traceevent: Add plugin support

Backporting plugin support for traceevent lib.

Backported from Steven Rostedt's trace-cmd repo (HEAD 0f2c2fb):
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rostedt/trace-cmd.git

It's now possible to use following interface to load plugins
(shared objects) to enhance pevent object functionality.

The plugin interface/hooks are as follows:
(taken from event-parse.h comments)

- 'pevent_plugin_loader' (required)
    The function name to initialized the plugin.

    int pevent_plugin_loader(struct pevent *pevent)

- 'pevent_plugin_unloader' (optional)
    The function called just before unloading

    int pevent_plugin_unloader(void)

- 'pevent_plugin_options'  (optional)
    Plugin options that can be set before loading

    struct plugin_option pevent_plugin_options[] = {
       {
               .name = "option-name",
               .plugin_alias = "overide-file-name", (optional)
               .description = "description of option to show users",
       },
       {
               .name = NULL,
       },
    };

    Array must end with .name = NULL;

    The plugin_alias (below) can be used to give a shorter
    name to access the variable. Useful if a plugin handles
    more than one event.

    NOTE options support is not backported yet.

- 'pevent_plugin_alias' (optional)
    The name to use for finding options (uses filename if not defined)

New traceevent functions are added to search and load
available plugins:

  struct plugin_list*
  traceevent_load_plugins(struct pevent *pevent)
    - loads plusing for 'struct pevent' object and returns
      loaded plugins list

  void traceevent_unload_plugins(struct plugin_list *plugin_list);
    - unload plugin list
