scripting: Allow scripts to request a subset of events

Passing java objects to/from scripts can have a big overhead, especially
with the py4j engine. This adds a public ScriptEventsIterator class
which has a method that allows to filter events based on their name, so
only a subset of events can be retrieved.

With py4j, reading a big trace to get sched_switches went from 18
minutes to 43 seconds.

[added] Allow scripts to request only a subset of events
