Fix: liblttng-ctl comm: lttng_event is not packed

Fix: liblttng-ctl comm: lttng_event is not packed

Observed issue
==============

In `lttcomm_session_msg` the lttng_event struct is marked as
LTTNG_PACKED. This statement have no effect as explained in commit [2].

Solution
========

Adopt a similar pattern to the new API with a "serialize" &
"create_from_buffer" approach.

Most of the complexity is moved to `src/common/event.c`

Known drawbacks
=========

None.

Note
====

Jérémie Galarneau: This patch was extensively modified from the original
patch applying against stable-2.12 to accomodate for the use of the
lttng_payload utils throughout the liblttng-ctl <-> lttng-sessiond
communication code.

Some changes were also made to build as C++.
