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

-  Enables or disables trace events at runtime inside QEMU.

 The "-trace events=<file>" command line argument can be used to enable the
 events listed in <file> from the very beginning of the program. This file must
 contain one event name per line.
 
-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

-be enabled using:
-  trace-event virtio_blk_* on
-
 If a line in the "-trace events=<file>" file begins with a '-', the trace event
 will be disabled instead of enabled.  This is useful when a wildcard was used
 to enable an entire family of events but one noisy event needs to be disabled.
