[PATCH 1/2] tracing/hist: simplify contains_operator()

[Mark Rutland <mark.rutland@arm.com>]

In a subsequent patch we'll add additional operators for histogram
expressions.

In preparation for adding additional operators, this patch refactors
contains_operator() to consider each operator within a precedence group
independently by using the 'sep' pointer as the current rightmost
operator, and removing the separate op pointers.

Within each precedence group, this allows operators to be checked
independently with a consistent pattern:

	op = strrchr(str, $OP_CHAR);
	if (op > *sep) {
		*sep = op;
		field_op = $FIELD_OP_TYPE;
	}

This makes it easy to add new operators of the same precedence without
needing to check multiple pointers, and without needing a final switch
statement to recover the relevant pointer.

There should be no functional change as a result of this patch.
