Defining a static const in a header file is wrong. It should be declared
in state.c. Also, shouldn't we declare enums in state.h to match those
in ltt-statedump.c ?

Also, we should change the occurences of e.g. "USER_THREAD" in state.c
for:

  LTTV_STATE_USER_THREAD =
        g_quark_from_static_string(lttng_thread_type_names[ENUM_USER_THREAD]);

and do the same for all these duplicated strings.

Thanks,

Mathieu
