app-layer: use uint8_t consistent for event IDs

Introduce a common function for mapping names to IDs that performs
bounds checking.

Note: For event IDs in the enum that are larger than a uint8_t, -1
will be returned instead of -4. -4 has special meaning during
signature parsin that means requirements were not met. -4 has no
special handling prior to requirements, or the meaning has been lost.
