An event is predefined point in the writer code that allows to log
data. Following the same scheme as kernel events, add remote events,
described to user-space within the events/ tracefs directory found in
the corresponding trace remote.

Remote events are expected to be described during the trace remote
registration.

Add also a .enable_event callback for trace_remote to toggle the event
logging, if supported.

Add a Tracefs directory remotes/ that contains all instances of trace remotes. Each instance follows the same hierarchy as any other to ease the support by existing user-space tools.
