a4cc0b7dd7 contrib/plugins: enable debug on CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG
We used to rely on QEMU_CFLAGS to expose the debug flags but now this
is synthesised by meson and only available to the main build. Add our
own flags if we detect the build has been enabled with
CONFIG_DEBUG_TCG (which is the default for --enable-debug anyway).

e2c5557ce1 plugins: Added a new cache modelling plugin
Added a cache modelling plugin that uses a static configuration used in
many of the commercial microprocessors and uses random eviction policy.

The purpose of the plugin is to identify the most cache-thrashing
instructions for both instruction cache and data cache.

a622d64eea plugins: new hwprofile plugin
This is a plugin intended to help with profiling access to various
bits of system hardware. It only really makes sense for system
emulation.

It takes advantage of the recently exposed helper API that allows us
to see the device name (memory region name) associated with a device.

You can specify arg=read or arg=write to limit the tracking to just
reads or writes (by default it does both).

The pattern option:

  -plugin ./tests/plugin/libhwprofile.so,arg=pattern

will allow you to see the access pattern to devices, eg:

  gic_cpu @ 0xffffffc010040000
    off:00000000, 8, 1, 8, 1
    off:00000000, 4, 1, 4, 1
    off:00000000, 2, 1, 2, 1
    off:00000000, 1, 1, 1, 1

The source option:

  -plugin ./tests/plugin/libhwprofile.so,arg=source

will track the virtual source address of the instruction making the
access:

  pl011 @ 0xffffffc010031000
    pc:ffffffc0104c785c, 1, 4, 0, 0
    pc:ffffffc0104c7898, 1, 4, 0, 0
    pc:ffffffc010512bcc, 2, 1867, 0, 0

You cannot mix source and pattern.

Finally the match option allow you to limit the tracking to just the
devices you care about.

c17a386b6a plugins: move the more involved plugins to contrib
We have an exploding complexity problem in the testing so lets just
move the more involved plugins into contrib. tests/plugins still exist
for the basic plugins that exercise the API. We restore the old
pre-meson style Makefile for contrib as it also doubles as a guide for
out-of-tree plugin builds.

While we are at it add some examples to the documentation and a
specific plugins build target.
