perf script: Allow +- operator for type specific fields option

Add support to add/remove fields for specific event types in -F option.
It's now possible to use '+-' after event type, like:

# cat > test.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
printf("Hello world\n");
while(1) {}
}
^D
# gcc -g -o test test.c
# perf probe -x test 'test.c:5'
# perf record -e '{cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/,probe_test:main}:S' ./test
...

# perf script -Ftrace:+period,-cpu
test 3859 396291.117343: 10275 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: 7f..
test 3859 396291.118234: 11041 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: ffffff..
test 3859 396291.118234: 1 probe_test:main:
test 3859 396291.118248: 8668 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: ffffff..
test 3859 396291.118263: 10139 cpu/cpu-cycles,period=10000/: ffffff..

Committer testing:

Couldn't make the test above work, but tested it with:

# perf probe -x hello main
Added new event:
probe_hello:main (on main in /home/acme/c/hello)

You can now use it in all perf tools, such as:

perf record -e probe_hello:main -aR sleep 1

# perf record -e probe_hello:main ./hello
hello, world
[ perf record: Woken up 1 times to write data ]
[ perf record: Captured and wrote 0.025 MB perf.data (1 samples) ]
# perf script
hello 21454 [002] 254116.874005: probe_hello:main: (401126)
#
# perf script -Ftrace:+period,-cpu
hello 21454 254116.874005: 1 probe_hello:main: (401126)
