Lluís Vilanova 5b808275f3 trace: Multi-backend tracing
Adds support to compile QEMU with multiple tracing backends at the same time.

For example, you can compile QEMU with:

  $ ./configure --enable-trace-backends=ftrace,dtrace

Where 'ftrace' can be handy for having an in-flight record of events, and 'dtrace' can be later used to extract more information from the system.

This patch allows having both available without recompiling QEMU.

Lluís Vilanova b1bae816c4 trace: Provide a detailed event control interface
This interface decouples event obtaining from interaction.

Events can be obtained through three different methods:

* identifier
* name
* simple wildcard pattern

Lluís 23d15e860b trace: add "-trace events" argument to control initial state
The "-trace events" argument can be used to provide a file with a list of trace
event names that will be enabled prior to starting execution, thus providing
early tracing.

This saves the user from manually toggling event states through the monitor
interface or whichever backend-specific interface.

Lluís fc76410539 trace: separate trace event control and query routines from the simple backend
Generalize the 'st_print_trace_events' and 'st_change_trace_event_state' into
backend-specific 'trace_print_events' and 'trace_event_set_state' (respectively)
in the "trace/control.h" file.

Lluís e4858974ec trace: avoid conditional code compilation during option parsing
A default implementation for backend-specific routines is provided in
"trace/default.c", which backends can override by setting "trace_default=no" in
"configure".
