Frederic Weisbecker e8808c1019 tracing/filters: support for filters of dynamic sized arrays
Currently the filtering infrastructure supports well the
numeric types and fixed sized array types.

But the recently added __string() field uses a specific
indirect offset mechanism which requires a specific
predicate. Until now it wasn't supported.

This patch adds this support and implies very few changes,
only a new predicate is needed, the management of this specific
field can be done through the usual string helpers in the
filtering infrastructure.

[ Impact: support all kinds of strings in the tracing filters ]
