trace: always compile support for controlling and querying trace event states

The current interface is generic for this small set of operations, and thus
other backends can easily modify the "trace/control.c" file to add their own
implementation.

of trace events. Marking trace events disabled by default saves the user
from having to manually disable noisy trace events.
== Generic interface and monitor commands ==
You can programmatically query and control the dynamic state of trace events
through a backend-agnostic interface:
* trace_print_events
* trace_event_set_state
Enables or disables trace events at runtime inside QEMU.
The function returns "true" if the state of the event has been successfully
changed, or "false" otherwise:
#include "trace/control.h"
trace_event_set_state("virtio_irq", true); /* enable */
[...]
trace_event_set_state("virtio_irq", false); /* disable */
Note that some of the backends do not provide an implementation for this
interface, in which case QEMU will just print a warning.
This functionality is also provided through monitor commands:
* info trace-events
View available trace events and their state. State 1 means enabled, state 0
means disabled.
* trace-event NAME on|off
Enable/disable a given trace event.

flushed and emptied. This means the 'info trace' will display few or no
entries if the buffer has just been flushed.
* info trace-events
View available trace events and their state. State 1 means enabled, state 0
means disabled.
* trace-event NAME on|off

* trace-file on|off|flush|set <path>
Enable/disable/flush the trace file or set the trace file name.
==== Enabling/disabling trace events programmatically ====
The st_change_trace_event_state() function can be used to enable or disable trace
events at runtime inside QEMU:
#include "trace.h"
st_change_trace_event_state("virtio_irq", true); /* enable */
[...]
st_change_trace_event_state("virtio_irq", false); /* disable */
==== Analyzing trace files ====
The "simple" backend produces binary trace files that can be formatted with the
