[lttng-dev] [PATCH lttng-tools 24/28] Add a function to check for legal exclusions

[jp_ikaheimonen@mentor.com (JP Ikaheimonen)]

Add a function check_exclusion_subsets() that checks the event name
against a given list of exclusion names. Report warnings and/or errors
if an exclusion is not a proper subset of the event.

Return a newly allocated list of newly allocated exclusion name strings,
the count of items in that list, and an error code.
