Existing simpletrace backend allows to trace at max 6 args and does not
support strings. This newer tracelog format gets rid of fixed size records
and therefore allows to trace variable number of args including strings.
Sample trace with strings:
v9fs_version 0.000 tag=0xffff id=0x64 msize=0x2000 version=9P2000.L
v9fs_version_return 6.705 tag=0xffff id=0x64 msize=0x2000 version=9P2000.L

Going forward with simpletrace v2 variable size trace records, we cannot
have a generic function to print trace event info and therefore this
interface becomes invalid.
As per Stefan Hajnoczi:
"This command is only available from the human monitor. It's not very
useful because it historically hasn't been able to pretty-print events
or show them in the right order (we use a ringbuffer but it prints
them out from index 0).
Therefore, I don't think we're under any obligation to keep this
command around. No one has complained about it's limitations - I
think this is a sign that no one has used it. I'd be okay with a
patch that removes it."

It is convenient for debug to be able to switch on/off some events easily.
The only possibility now is to remove event name from the file completely
and type it again when we want it back.
The patch adds '#' symbol handling as a comment specifier.

This patch makes trace_thread_create() to use its function arg to
initialize thread. The other choice is to make this a function to use
void arg, but i prefer this way.

since commit f9b29ca03 included in release 2.31 (docs below say 2.32 but
that is not correct) and onwards g_thread_init is deprecated and calling
it is not required:
http://developer.gnome.org/glib/unstable/glib-Deprecated-Thread-APIs.html#g-thread-init
g_thread_init has been deprecated since version 2.32 and should not be
used in newly-written code. This function is no longer necessary. The
GLib threading system is automatically initialized at the start of your
program.
Fixes bulid failure when warnings are treated as errors on fedora 17.
I only tested the change to vl.c, and copy pasted to the two other
locations (couldn't decide if a wrapper for calling g_thread_init is
uglier).

A basic wildcard matching is supported in both the monitor command
"trace-event" and the events list file. That means you can enable/disable
the events having a common prefix in a batch. For example, virtio-blk trace
events could be enabled using:
trace-event virtio_blk_* on

For Windows portability the simple trace backend must use the 'b' file
open mode. This prevents the stdio library from mangling 0x0a/0x0d
newline characters.

Convert the simple trace backend to glib so that it works under Windows.
We cannot use pthread directly but glib provides portable abstractions.
Also use glib atomics instead of newish gcc builtins which may not be
supported on Windows toolchains.

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.

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.

A default implementation for backend-specific routines is provided in
"trace/default.c", which backends can override by setting "trace_default=no" in
"configure".
