events in guest code at execution time ('trace_${event}_exec_proxy').

This new tracetool "format" generates a SystemTap .stp file that outputs
simpletrace binary trace data.
In contrast to simpletrace or ftrace, SystemTap does not define its own
trace format. All output from SystemTap is generated by .stp files.
This patch lets us generate a .stp file that outputs in the simpletrace
binary format.
This makes it possible to reuse simpletrace.py to analyze traces
recorded using SystemTap. The simpletrace binary format is especially
useful for long-running traces like flight-recorder mode where string
formatting can be expensive.

SystemTap reserved words sometimes conflict with QEMU variable names.
We escape them to prevent conflicts.
Move escaping into its own function so the next patch can reuse it.

Backends now only contain the essential backend-specific code, and most of the work is moved to frontend code.

* A new format is required to generate definitions for ust tracepoints.
Files ust_events_h.py and ust_events_c.py define common macros, while
new function ust_events_h in events.py does the actual definition of
each tracepoint.
* ust.py generates the new interface for calling userspace tracepoints
with LTTng 2.x, replacing trace_name(args) to tracepoint(name, args).
* As explained in ust_events_c.py, -Wredundant-decls gives a warning
when compiling with gcc 4.7 or older. This is specific to lttng-ust so
for now use a pragma clause to avoid getting a warning.

Uses tracetool to generate a backend-independent tracing event description
(struct TraceEvent).
The values for such structure are generated with the non-public "events"
backend ("events-c" frontend).
The generation of the defines to check if an event is statically enabled is also
moved to the "events" backend ("events-h" frontend).

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.

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.
