perf hists: Trim libtraceevent trace_seq buffers
When we use libtraceevent to format trace event fields into printable strings to use in hist entries it is important to trim it from the default 4 KiB it starts with to what is really used, to reduce the memory footprint, so use realloc(seq.buffer, seq.len + 1) when returning the seq.buffer formatted with the fields contents.
