Fix: sessiond: preserve jul/log4j domain loglevels

Issue observed
==============

Following dcd24bbf7dbc74e3584d1d0d52715e749023c452, the
lttng-ust-java-tests started failing with a number of errors such as
the following [1]:

```
org.opentest4j.AssertionFailedError: expected: java.util.Collections$SingletonList@3270d194<[Event name = eventA, Log level selector = (LTTNG_EVENT_LOGLEVEL_ALL), Filter string = logger_name == "eventA"]> but was: java.util.ArrayList@235834f2<[Event name = eventA, Log level selector = (LTTNG_EVENT_LOGLEVEL_ALL), Filter string = logger_name == "eventA"]>
at org.lttng.ust.agent.integration.client.TcpClientIT.testEnableEvent(TcpClientIT.java:187
```
While the assertion failure print out looks like the events are the
same, there is a difference in between the objects which is not
printed: the loglevel integer value. For example:

```
eventA [level -2147483648, type 0]: logger_name == "eventA"
eventB [level -2147483648, type 0]: logger_name == "eventB"

eventA [level -1, type 0]: logger_name == "eventA"
eventB [level -1, type 0]: logger_name == "eventB"
```

Cause
=====

When events are created from payloads in
`src/common/event.cpp:lttng_event_create_from_payload`, the loglevel
value is coerced to `-1` when the loglevel_type is
LTTNG_EVENT_LOGLEVEL_ALL.

Consider the event created in `lttng enable-event --jul
eventName`. The loglevel_type and loglevel will be set as follows:

* loglevel_type: LTTNG_EVENT_LOGLEVEL_ALL (0)
* loglevel: LTTNG_EVENT_LOGLEVEL_JUL_ALL (-2147483648)

The event created is then serialized and sent to the sessiond which
recreates it from the payload removing the value set initially.

The normalization performed in `src/bin/lttng-sessiond/cmd.cpp` has
the same effect.

Solution
========

Remove the normalization of the the loglevel to -1 when events with
loglevel_type LTTNG_EVENT_LOGLEVEL_ALL are created from payloads or
processed via `_cmd_enable_event`.

A test has been added to confirm that the modification doesn't regress
on the issue flagged in https://bugs.lttng.org/issues/1373 which lead
to the normalization changes being made.

This change isn't an exhaustive audit of the packet outputs which may
or may not leak the '-1' "unset" value. One potential change to the
normalization may be to have the normalization be domain-aware and
always default to the domain's "ALL" value. Note that not all domains
have the concept of an "unset" level.
