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.

This patch adds a ftrace tracing backend which sends trace event to
ftrace marker file. You can effectively compare qemu trace data and
kernel(especially, kvm.ko when using KVM) trace data.
The ftrace backend is restricted to Linux only.
To try out the ftrace backend:
$ ./configure --trace-backend=ftrace
$ make
if you use KVM, enable kvm events in ftrace:
# sudo echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/kvm/enable
After running qemu by root user, you can get the trace:
# cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
