The following additions to the tracing documentation are included:
1. Move "stderr" backend documentation to top-level and out of "simple"
backend. Include hints on when this backend is useful.
2. Document the "simple" backend thread-safety limitation.
3. Document the "dtrace" backend for SystemTap.

This backend sends trace events to standard error output during the emulation.
Also add a "--list-backends" option to tracetool, so configure script can
display the list of available backends.

Document the restriction that format strings must begin and end with
double quotes. This is for easy parsing since we don't run cpp over
trace-events.

It is not portable to use "%ld" for int64_t because int64_t may have
type long on 64-bit platforms and long long on 32-bit platforms. Use
the standard library PRId64 macros to keep format strings portable.

The blkverify block driver makes investigating image format data
corruption much easier. A raw image initialized with the same contents
as the test image (e.g. qcow2 file) must be provided. The raw image
mirrors read/write operations and is used to verify that data read from
the test image is correct.
See docs/blkverify.txt for more information.
