As a follow-up to commit 30da46b5dc ("tools: bpftool: add a command to
dump the trace pipe"), attempt to mount the tracefs virtual file system
if it is not detected on the system before trying to dump content of the
tracing pipe on an invocation of "bpftool prog tracelog".
Usually, tracefs in automatically mounted by debugfs when the user tries
to access it (e.g. "ls /sys/kernel/debug/tracing" mounts the tracefs).
So if we failed to find it, it is probably that debugfs is not here
either. Therefore, we just attempt a single mount, at a location that
does not involve debugfs: /sys/kernel/tracing.

BPF programs can use the bpf_trace_printk() helper to print debug
information into the trace pipe. Add a subcommand
"bpftool prog tracelog" to simply dump this pipe to the console.
This is for a good part copied from iproute2, where the feature is
available with "tc exec bpf dbg". Changes include dumping pipe content
to stdout instead of stderr and adding JSON support (content is dumped
as an array of strings, one per line read from the pipe). This version
is dual-licensed, with Daniel's permission.
