[PATCH 3/3] tools lib traceevent: Introduce pevent_strerror

[Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung.kim@xxxxxxx>

The pevent_strerror() sets @buf to a string that describes the
(libtraceevent-specific) error condition that is passed via @errnum.

This is similar to strerror_r() and does same thing if @errnum has a
standard errno value.
