tools lib traceevent: Carve out events format parsing routine

The pevent_parse_event() routine will parse a events/sys/tp/format file
and add an event_format instance to the pevent struct.

This patch introduces a pevent_parse_format() routine with just the bits
needed to parse the event/sys/tp/format file and just return the
event_format instance, useful for when all we want is to parse the
format file, without requiring the pevent struct.
