[RFC PATCH] scripts/tracetool: don't barf validating TCG types

["Alex Bennée" <alex.bennee@linaro.org>]

TCG types will be transformed into the appropriate host types later on
in the tool. Try and work around this by detecting those cases and
pressing on.

[AJB: this seems a bit too hacky - but the problem is validate_type is
buried a few layers deep. Maybe we should just drop TCGv from
ALLOWED_TYPES and manually do if bit.startswith("TCGv_") in validate_type?]

Fixes: 73ff061032 ("trace: only permit standard C types and fixed size integer types")
