subscriber: add Context method for resolving an Event's SpanRef (toki…

…o-rs#1434)

## Motivation

Fixes tokio-rs#1428

## Solution

Adds a new `Context::event_span` method as proposed in the issue.

No existing formatters were changed to use it yet, that seems like a
secondary issue (especially if they already work correctly).
