hist_field_name() uses a static MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL buffer for fully
qualified variable-reference names, but it currently appends into that
buffer with strcat() without rebuilding it first. As a result, repeated
calls append a new "system.event.field" name onto the previous one,
which can eventually run past the end of full_name.
Build the name with snprintf() on each call and return NULL if the fully
qualified name does not fit in MAX_FILTER_STR_VAL.
