trace: add trace point emit for blob

Adds a trace point emit function for capturing a blob. The blob
captures the length passed by the application followed by the array.

The maximum blob bytes which can be captured is bounded by
RTE_TRACE_BLOB_LEN_MAX macro. The value for max blob length macro is
64 bytes. If the length is less than 64 the remaining trailing bytes
are set to zero.

This patch also adds test case for emit blob tracepoint function.

trace: fix dynamically enabling trace points

Enabling trace points at runtime was not working if no trace point had
been enabled first at rte_eal_init() time. The reason was that
trace.args reflected the arguments passed to --trace= EAL option.

To fix this:
- the trace subsystem initialisation is updated: trace directory
creation is deferred to when traces are dumped (to avoid creating
directories that may not be used),
- per lcore memory allocation still relies on rte_trace_is_enabled() but
this helper now tracks if any trace point is enabled. The
documentation is updated accordingly,
- cleanup helpers must always be called in rte_eal_cleanup() since some
trace points might have been enabled and disabled in the lifetime of
the DPDK application,

With this fix, we can update the unit test and check that a trace point
callback is invoked when expected.

Note:
- the 'trace' global variable might be shadowed with the argument
passed to the functions dealing with trace point handles.
'tp' has been used for referring to trace_point object.
Prefer 't' for referring to handles,

trace: simplify trace point headers

Invert the current trace point headers logic by making
rte_trace_point_register.h include rte_trace_point.h.

There is no more need for a RTE_TRACE_POINT_REGISTER_SELECT special macro
since including rte_trace_point_register.h itself means we want to
register trace points.

The unexplained "provider" notion is removed from the documentation and
rte_trace_point_provider.h is merged into rte_trace_point.h.
