kcov: support comparison operands collection

Enables kcov to collect comparison operands from instrumented code.
This is done by using Clang's -fsanitize=trace-cmp instrumentation
(currently not available for GCC).

The comparison operands help a lot in fuzz testing.  E.g.  they are used
in Syzkaller to cover the interiors of conditional statements with way
less attempts and thus make previously unreachable code reachable.

To allow separate collection of coverage and comparison operands two
different work modes are implemented.  Mode selection is now done via a
KCOV_ENABLE ioctl call with corresponding argument value.
