tracing: add run-time field descriptions for event filtering

This patch makes the field descriptions defined for event tracing
available at run-time, for the event-filtering mechanism introduced
in a subsequent patch.

The common event fields are prepended with 'common_' in the format
display, allowing them to be distinguished from the other fields
that might internally have same name and can therefore be
unambiguously used in filters.
