trace: Add simple built-in tracing backend

This patch adds a simple tracer which produces binary trace files.  To
try out the simple backend:

$ ./configure --trace-backend=simple
$ make

After running QEMU you can pretty-print the trace:

$ ./simpletrace.py trace-events trace.log

The output of simpletrace.py looks like this:

  qemu_realloc 0.699 ptr=0x24363f0 size=0x3 newptr=0x24363f0
  qemu_free 0.768 ptr=0x24363f0
  ^           ^---- timestamp delta (us)
  |____ trace event name

trace: Make trace record fields 64-bit

Explicitly use 64-bit fields in trace records so that timestamps and
magic numbers work for 32-bit host builds.

Includes fixes from Prerna Saxena <prerna@linux.vnet.ibm.com>.
