[lttng-dev] [RFC PATCH lttng-tools 16/18] Add serialized versions of lttng_event structs

[Yannick Lamarre]

Serialized version of lttng_snapshot_output is a packed structure to be
used in communication protocols for consistent size across platforms.
The serialized version is stripped of pointers and padding.

Pointers are removed since their size can vary on platforms supporting
variable sized registers (x86-64).
Padding is also removed since it defeats the purpose of a packed struct.
