tracetool: show trace-events filename/lineno in fmt string errors

The compiler encounters trace event format strings in generated code.
Format strings are error-prone and therefore clear compiler errors are
important.

Use the #line directive to show the trace-events filename and line
number in format string errors:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-10.2.0/cpp/Line-Control.html

For example, if the cpu_in trace event's %u is changed to %p the
following error is reported:

  trace-events:29:18: error: format ‘%p’ expects argument of type ‘void *’, but argument 7 has type ‘unsigned int’ [-Werror=format=]

Line 29 in trace-events is where cpu_in is defined. This works for any
trace-events file in the QEMU source tree and the correct path is
displayed.

Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to set the column, so "18"
is not the right character on that line.
