simpletrace: added simplified Analyzer2 class

By moving the dynamic argument construction to keyword-arguments,
we can remove all of the specialized handling, and streamline it.
If a tracing method wants to access these, they can define the
kwargs, or ignore it be placing `**kwargs` at the end of the
function's arguments list.

Added deprecation warning to Analyzer class to make users aware
of the Analyzer2 class. No removal date is planned.

+    """A trace file analyzer which processes trace records.
+
+    An analyzer can be passed to run() or process().  The begin() method is
+    invoked, then each trace record is processed, and finally the end() method
+    is invoked. When Analyzer is used as a context-manager (using the `with`
+    statement), begin() and end() are called automatically.
+
+    If a method matching a trace event name exists, it is invoked to process
+    that trace record.  Otherwise the catchall() method is invoked.
+
+    The methods are called with a set of keyword-arguments. These can be ignored
+    using `**kwargs` or defined like any keyword-argument.
+
+    The following keyword-arguments are available, but make sure to have an
+    **kwargs to allow for unmatched arguments in the future:
+        event: Event object of current trace
+        event_id: The id of the event in the current trace file
+        timestamp_ns: The timestamp in nanoseconds of the trace
+        pid: The process id recorded for the given trace
+
+    Example:
+    The following method handles the runstate_set(int new_state) trace event::
+
+      def runstate_set(self, new_state, **kwargs):
+          ...
+
+    The method can also explicitly take a timestamp keyword-argument with the
+    trace event arguments::
+
+      def runstate_set(self, new_state, *, timestamp_ns, **kwargs):
+          ...
+
+    Timestamps have the uint64_t type and are in nanoseconds.
+
+    The pid can be included in addition to the timestamp and is useful when
+    dealing with traces from multiple processes:
+
+      def runstate_set(self, new_state, *, timestamp_ns, pid, **kwargs):
+          ...
