ff8e4827ad docs/qapi-code-gen: update to cover trace events code generation
Previous commits enabled trace events generation for most of QAPI
generated code (except for tests/ and qga/). Let's update documentation
to illustrate it.

0dfb3ca73c trace: update docs with meson build information
The documentation still refers to the makefile and the old sub-directory
layout. Meson works differently: tracetool output is placed into the
builddir with mangled filenames like <builddir>/trace/trace-accel_kvm.h
for the accel/kvm/ trace.h definition.

This meson setup also requires a manually-created accel/kvm/trace.h file
that #includes the <builddir>/trace/trace-accel_kvm.h file. Document
this!

3faf22ef44 trace: document how to specify multiple --trace patterns
It is possible to repeat the --trace option to specify multiple
patterns. This may be preferrable to users who do not want to create a
file with a list of patterns.

418ed14268 trace: make the 'log' backend timestamp configurable
Timestamps in tracing output can be distracting. Make it possible to
control tid/timestamp printing with -msg timestamp=on|off. The default
is no tid/timestamps. Previously they were always printed.

7e46d5f317 trace: recommend "log" backend for getting started with tracing
The "simple" backend is actually more complicated to use than the "log"
backend. Update the quickstart documentation to feature the "log"
backend instead of the "simple" backend.
