 * bt_ctf_field_type_get and bt_ctf_field_type_put: increment and decrement
 * the field type's reference count.
 *
 * These functions ensure that the field type won't be destroyed while it
 * is in use. The same number of get and put (plus one extra put to
 * release the initial reference done at creation) have to be done to
 * destroy a field type.
 *
 * When the field type's reference count is decremented to 0 by a
 * bt_ctf_field_type_put, the field type is freed.
 *
 * @param type Field type.
