73735f7218 trace: avoid Python 2.5 all() in tracetool
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 ships Python 2.4.3.  The all() function was
added in Python 2.5 so we cannot use it.

5b808275f3 trace: Multi-backend tracing
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.

1dad2ce973 trace: [tracetool] Minimize the amount of per-backend code
Backends now only contain the essential backend-specific code, and most of the work is moved to frontend code.

93fba1618d trace: [tracetool] Explicitly identify public backends
Public backends are those printed by "--list-backends" and thus considered valid
by the configure script.

9943e0ec38 tracetool: avoid pkgutil.iter_modules() Python 2.7 function
The pkgutil.iter_modules() function provides a way to enumerate child
modules.  Unfortunately it's missing in Python <2.7 so we must implement
similar behavior ourselves.

650ab98d1d tracetool: Rewrite infrastructure as python modules
The tracetool script is written in shell and has hit several portability
problems due to shell quirks or external tools across host platforms.
Additionally the amount of string processing and lack of real data
structures makes it tough to implement code generator backends for
tracers that are more complex.

This patch replaces the shell version of tracetool with a Python
version.  The new tracetool design is:

  scripts/tracetool.py - top-level script
  scripts/tracetool/backend/ - tracer backends live here (simple, ust)
  scripts/tracetool/format/  - output formats live here (.c, .h)

There is common code for trace-events definition parsing so that
backends can focus on generating code rather than parsing input.

Support for all existing backends (nop, stderr, simple, ust,
and dtrace) is added back in follow-up patches.
