Steven Rostedt (Google) 80a76994b2 tracing: Add "fields" option to show raw trace event fields

The hex, raw and bin formats come from the old PREEMPT_RT patch set
latency tracer. That actually gave real alternatives to reading the ascii
buffer. But they have started to bit rot and they do not give a good
representation of the tracing data.

Add "fields" option that will read the trace event fields and parse the
data from how the fields are defined:

With "fields" = 0 (default)

 echo 1 > events/sched/sched_switch/enable

It traces the data safely without using the trace print formatting.
