tracing: Add per-element variable support to tracing_map
In order to allow information to be passed between trace events, add support for per-element variables to tracing_map. This provides a means for histograms to associate a value or values with an entry when it's saved or updated, and retrieved by a subsequent event occurrences. Variables can be set using tracing_map_set_var() and read using tracing_map_read_var(). tracing_map_var_set() returns true or false depending on whether or not the variable has been set or not, which is important for event-matching applications. tracing_map_read_var_once() reads the variable and resets it to the 'unset' state, implementing read-once variables, which are also important for event-matching uses.
