[lttng-dev] [RFC PATCH lttng-tools 07/18] Add serialized versions of lttng_channel structs

[ylamarre@efficios.com (Yannick Lamarre)]

Serialized versions of lttng_channel and lttng_channel_extended are
packed structures to be used in communication protocols for consistent
sizes across platforms. The serialized versions are stripped of pointers
and padding.

Pointers are removed since their size can vary on platforms supporting
variable sized registers (x86-64).
Padding is also removed since it defeats the purpose of a packed struct.
