Fix: sessiond: incorrect use of exclusions array leads to crash
Issue observed
--------------
When using the CLI to list the configuration of a session that has an
event rule which makes use of multiple exclusions, the session daemon
crashes with the following stack trace:

Cause
-----
lttng_event_serialize expects a `char **` list of exclusion names, as
provided by the other callsite in liblttng-ctl. However, the callsite in
list_lttng_ust_global_events passes pointer to the exclusions as stored
in lttng_event_exclusion.
lttng_event_exclusion contains an array of fixed-length strings (with a
stride of 256 bytes) which isn't an expected layout for
lttng_event_serialize.
Solution
--------
A temporary array of pointers is constructed before invoking
lttng_event_serialize to construct a list of exclusions with the layout
that lttng_event_serialize expects.
The array itself is reused for all events, limiting the number of
allocations.
Note
----
None.
