tracing: Add synthetic event command generation functions

Add functions used to generate synthetic event commands, built on top
of the dynevent_cmd interface.

synth_event_gen_cmd_start() is used to create a synthetic event
command using a variable arg list and
synth_event_gen_cmd_array_start() does the same thing but using an
array of field descriptors.  synth_event_add_field(),
synth_event_add_field_str() and synth_event_add_fields() can be used
to add single fields one by one or as a group.  Once all desired
fields are added, synth_event_gen_cmd_end() is used to actually
execute the command and create the event.

synth_event_create() does everything, including creating the event, in
a single call.
