tracing: Add fields format definition for syscall events

Define the format of the syscall trace fields to parse the binary
values from a raw trace using the syscall events "format" file.

This is defined dynamically using the syscalls metadata.
It prepares the export of syscall event raw records to perf
counters.

Example:

$ cat /debug/tracing/events/syscalls/sys_enter_sched_getparam/format
name: sys_enter_sched_getparam
ID: 39
format:
field:unsigned short common_type; offset:0; size:2;
field:unsigned char common_flags; offset:2; size:1;
field:unsigned char common_preempt_count; offset:3; size:1;
field:int common_pid; offset:4; size:4;
field:int common_tgid; offset:8; size:4;

field:pid_t pid; offset:12; size:8;
field:struct sched_param * param; offset:20; size:8;

print fmt: "pid: 0x%08lx, param: 0x%08lx", ((unsigned long)(REC->pid)), ((unsigned long)(REC->param))
