perf trace: Don't relookup fields by name in each sample

Instead do the lookups just when creating the tracepoints, initially for
the most common, raw_syscalls:sys_{enter,exit}.

It works by having evsel->priv have a per tracepoint structure with
entries for the fields, for direct access, with the offset and a
function to get the value from the sample, doing the swap if needed.

Using a simple workload that does M millions write syscalls, we go from:

 # perf stat -i -e cycles /tmp/oldperf trace ./sc_hello 100 > /dev/null

 Performance counter stats for '/tmp/oldperf trace ./sc_hello 100':

       2.668025928 seconds time elapsed

 # perf stat -i -e cycles perf trace ./sc_hello 100 > /dev/null
