log: make '-msg timestamp=on' apply to all qemu_log usage

log: make '-msg timestamp=on' apply to all qemu_log usage
Currently the tracing 'log' back emits special code to add timestamps
to trace points sent via qemu_log(). This current impl is a bad design
for a number of reasons.
* It changes the QEMU headers, such that 'error-report.h' content
is visible to all files using tracing, but only when the 'log'
backend is enabled. This has led to build failure bugs as devs
rarely test without the (default) 'log' backend enabled, and
CI can't cover every scenario for every trace backend.
* It bloats the trace points definitions which are inlined into
every probe location due to repeated inlining of timestamp
formatting code, adding MBs of overhead to QEMU.
* The tracing subsystem should not be treated any differently
from other users of qemu_log. They all would benefit from
having timestamps present.
* The timestamp emitted with the tracepoints is in a needlessly
different format to that used by error_report() in response
to '-msg timestamp=on'.
This fixes all these issues simply by moving timestamp formatting
into qemu_log, using the same approach as for error_report.
The code before:
static inline void _nocheck__trace_qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path(void * creds, const char * filename, const char * path)
{
if (trace_event_get_state(TRACE_QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_GET_PATH) && qemu_loglevel_mask(LOG_TRACE)) {
if (message_with_timestamp) {
struct timeval _now;
gettimeofday(&_now, NULL);
qemu_log("%d@%zu.%06zu:qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path " "TLS creds path creds=%p filename=%s path=%s" "\n",
qemu_get_thread_id(),
(size_t)_now.tv_sec, (size_t)_now.tv_usec
, creds, filename, path);
} else {
qemu_log("qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path " "TLS creds path creds=%p filename=%s path=%s" "\n", creds, filename, path);
}
}
}
and after:
static inline void _nocheck__trace_qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path(void * creds, const char * filename, const char * path)
{
if (trace_event_get_state(TRACE_QCRYPTO_TLS_CREDS_GET_PATH) && qemu_loglevel_mask(LOG_TRACE)) {
qemu_log("qcrypto_tls_creds_get_path " "TLS creds path creds=%p filename=%s path=%s" "\n", creds, filename, path);
}
}

tracetool: show trace-events filename/lineno in fmt string errors
The compiler encounters trace event format strings in generated code.
Format strings are error-prone and therefore clear compiler errors are
important.
Use the #line directive to show the trace-events filename and line
number in format string errors:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-10.2.0/cpp/Line-Control.html
For example, if the cpu_in trace event's %u is changed to %p the
following error is reported:
trace-events:29:18: error: format ‘%p’ expects argument of type ‘void *’, but argument 7 has type ‘unsigned int’ [-Werror=format=]
Line 29 in trace-events is where cpu_in is defined. This works for any
trace-events file in the QEMU source tree and the correct path is
displayed.
Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to set the column, so "18"
is not the right character on that line.

A comment in scripts/tracetool/__init__.py mentions that:
We only want to allow standard C types or fixed sized
integer types. We don't want QEMU specific types
as we can't assume trace backends can resolve all the
typedefs
