tracing/filters: distinguish between signed and unsigned fields

The new filter comparison ops need to be able to distinguish between
signed and unsigned field types, so add an is_signed flag/param to the
event field struct/trace_define_fields().  Also define a simple macro,
is_signed_type() to determine the signedness at compile time, used in the
trace macros.  If the is_signed_type() macro won't work with a specific
type, a new slightly modified version of TRACE_FIELD() called
TRACE_FIELD_SIGN(), allows the signedness to be set explicitly.

[ Impact: extend trace-filter code for new feature ]
