Personally I'm fine with this.  Maybe there would be a better C++-ish
design, but I'm not very good at that.  If others have suggestions, I'd
like to hear them.

I don't think we need this method (though maybe I'll get proven wrong
by the rest of the series).  At least in this patch, we can just call
gen_info_probes_table_header, and if the probe type doesn't supply
any header, we'll just iterate on an empty vector, which is the same
as returning early.

I am wondering if this can return the vector directly.  Combined with
the suggestion above, it would simplify get_number_extra_fields, for example:

static int
get_number_extra_fields (const static_probe_ops *spops)
{
  return spops->gen_info_probes_table_header ().size ();
}

I'd suggest making get_name and get_provider return an std::string.
Most usages use strcmp/strlen, which can be replaced with their C++
equivalent.  Other usages are used to pass to uiout methods, like
field_string.  I think we could add an overload to these methods
that take a const std::string& instead of a const char *, for
convenience.  But I'm fine if we do it in another patchset, so you
don't have to complicate things for nothing in this patchset.
