>CTF event description is currently built by appending all fields in a single string
>at trace point registration.
>When dumping the metadata, this string is split again and inspected to fixup
>reserved keywords and special tokens like "." or "->".
>
>Move this fixup per field at trace point registration time so that there is no
>need for inspecting / string parsing when dumping metadata.
>Use dynamic allocations to remove an artificial size limit on the CTF event
>description manipulations.
