tests: benchmark: improve benchmark scalability accuracy

Testing with a fixed number of loops per-thread only works if the
workload is distributed perfectly across CPUs. For instance, if a lock
is held in the workload (e.g. internally by open() and close()), those
may cause starvation of some threads, and therefore cause the benchmark
to be wrong because it will wait for the slowest thread to complete its
loops.

It is also not good for testing overcommit of threads vs cpus.

Change the test to report the number of loops performed in a given wall
time, and use this to report the average and std.dev. of tracing
overhead per event on each active CPU.

Change the benchmark workload to be only CPU-bound and not generate
system calls to minimize the inherent non-scalability of the workload
(e.g. locks held within the kernel).

ABI: refuse non-matching ABI minor version on event registration

In scenarios where a lttng-tools 2.8 (lttng-ust 2.8) stack is running
and an application linked against a lttng-ust 2.7, event registration
will fail on fields size validation [1]. This is not expected based on
the ABI versioning exposed by lttng-ust 2.7 (6.0) and lttng-ust 2.8
(6.1).

The same happen if the scenario is reversed.

This is the result of a change in _ustctl_basic_type.

2.8 introduced enumeration to _ustctl_basic_type. The defined padding is
of 296 while the new union member is 312 (310 of real data + 2 for
alignment) pushing the structure size to 312 instead of the previous
296. This should have been an major ABI break but until now the problem
did not surface.

To prevent this, refuse non matching minor version. No need to check for
particular major,minor version since only 6.0 (ust 2.7) and 6.1 (ust
2.8) exist until a major ABI break.
