Steve Howell cea5e67262 narrows: Use dataclasses in a couple internal functions.
This is a first step toward two goals:
    * support dictionary-like narrows when registering events
    * use readable dataclasses internally

This is gonna be a somewhat complicated exercise due to how
events get serialized, but fortunately this interim step
doesn't require any serious shims, so it improves the codebase
even if the long-term goals may take a while to get sorted
out.

The two places where we have to use a helper to convert narrows
from tuples to dataclasses will eventually rely on their callers
to do the conversion, but I don't want to re-work the entire
codepath yet.

Note that the new NarrowTerm dataclass makes it more explicit
that the internal functions currently either don't care about
negated flags or downright don't support them.  This way mypy
protects us from assuming that we can just add negated support
at the outer edges.

OTOH I do make a tiny effort here to slightly restructure
narrow_filter in a way that paves the way for negation support.

The bigger goal by far, though, is to at least support the
dictionary format.
