Configuration of complex ftrace histograms could be hard, using the existing ftrace interface.
The "--sql" option is implemented to simplify this task. It uses a sql-like syntax to define
the histograms and generates necessary ftrace syntetic events and triggers. Each ftrace event
represents a sql tible, while the fields of this event are rows in the table.

Few trace-cmd library APIs are introduced in this patch set, used in the
sql parser logic:
  in libtracefs: tracefs_instance_file_append()
  in libtraceevent: new flag to suppress parsing warnings

The patch set is based on Steven Rostedt's PoC implementation:
   https://github.com/rostedt/sqlhist

[
 v3 changes:
  - Do not allocate tep handler in sqlparser library, pass it as input
    parameter to sqlhist_parse() API. The tep handler, initialized with
    all required ftarce events must, be supplied by the API caller.
  - Add tep handler to common_record_context of trace-cmd record and
    similar commands. Add logic to initialize and destroy it.
  - Implemented new traceevent API to suppress parsing error while
    reading ftrace events.
 v2 changes:
  - Removed patches for trace-cmd reset sub command from this patch set, as
    they are not directly related to the SQL-like syntax implementation.
  - Fixed the use case with more than one "--sql" argument. Added logic to
    clean up the parser state before parsing a new string.
  - Implemented API for freeing all resources, allocated by the parser.
  - Fixed the use case with ftrace instances.
