[PATCH v3 3/5] trace-cmd: Add new libtraceevent flag to suppress parsing warnings

["Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)" <tz.stoyanov@xxxxxxxxx>]

When the event's format strings are parsed by tep_parse_format()
API and there is a parsing error, a warning is printed. There are
use cases when these errors are not important and should be suppressed.
A new flag is added to
 enum tep_flag {
   ...
   TEP_NO_PARSING_WARNINGS
   ...
 }
for such use cases. It can be set / cleared / checked using
the existing libtraceevent APIs:
 void tep_set_flag(struct tep_handle *tep, int flag);
 void tep_clear_flag(struct tep_handle *tep, enum tep_flag flag);
 bool tep_test_flag(struct tep_handle *tep, enum tep_flag flag);
