[PATCH] libtraceevent: Add tep_record_is_event() API

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

From: "Steven Rostedt (Google)" <rostedt@goodmis.org>

Add a new API tep_record_is_event(). It's becoming a common pattern in
parsing traces, where the code will have:

	int type;

	type = tep_data_type(event->tep, record);
	if (event->id == type) {
		/* do something */
	}

Make it a helper function
