Add static checker

For supporting the static checker, all macros part of the Domain
Specific Language (DSL) of libside must be defined with a level of
indirection.

`<side/static-check.h>', is included by `<side/api.h>' when
`SIDE_STATIC_CHECK_ENABLE' is defined.  The whole DSL is undefined and
redefined with a dispatching technique.  See the comments in the file
for details on how this works.

The static checker works by defining dummy C type and letting the
compiler found incompatible types at event definitions and call sites.

Introduce dynamic compound literal

In C++, compound literal are temporary objects which have a lifetime
bound to its expression.  To extend the lifetime of such objects, the
`SIDE_DYNAMIC_COMPOUND_LITERAL' macro is introduced.

In C, this macro expands to `SIDE_COMPOUND_LITERAL'.  In C++, it
allocates the necessary size to store the object onto the stack using
`alloca(3)'.  The memory is then initialized by copying the expression
to it.

This is necessary for attributes of dynamic fields.  However,
`SIDE_DYNAMIC_COMPOUND_LITERAL' only return a pointer to the object and
not its size.  To overcome this, the API is changed and the
`side_dynamic_attr_list()' macro must be used on dynamic arguments of
dynamic fields.  The macro itself is not defined by libside.  Instead,
macro dispatching is done to get the pointer to the object and its size.

If the read() in get_cpu_mask_from_sysfs() fails with EINTR, the code is
supposed to retry, but the while loop condition has (bytes_read > 0),
which is false when read() fails with EINTR. The result is that the code
exits the loop, having only read part of the string.

Use (bytes_read != 0) in the while loop condition instead, since the
