A new PoC implementation, adding a compression to trace file.
A basic infrastructure for compression support is added into the trace-cmd
library. The zlib is used for compression, but more libraries and algorithms
can be added. Trace data is commpressed and part of the trace file metadata: 
 - ftrace events format
 - format of recorded events
 - information about the mapping of function addresses to the function names
 - trace_printk() format strings
 - information of the mapping a PID to a process name
 - options

Note: not all trace-cmd commands are tested with these changes. These are
verified to work with compressed trace files:
 trace-cmd record
 trace-cmd report
 trace-cmd dump
 trace-cmd agent
 trace-cmd profile
 trace-cmd split

Todo list, in order to have complete trace file compression:
 - Add support for more compression libraries.
 - Add new trace-cmd command to convert trace files from version 6 to
   version 7 and vise versa.
 - Test all trace-cmd commands with trace file v7.
 - Update trace-cmd documentation.

v4 changes:
 - Tested and fixed profile and split subcommands with compression files.
 - Bug fixes.

v3 changes:
 - Compress the trace data.
 - Added documentation to all compression APIs.
 - A few minor fixes.
v2 changes:
 - Refactored compression APIs.
 - Moved the trace buffers description out of the trace options section.
 - Added compression of "options" section of the trace file.
 - Updated "trace-cmd list" to show available compression algorithms.
 - Tested with host-guest tracing.
 - Merged with the patchset that bumps the trace file version.
