tracing: Add lock-free tracing_map

Add tracing_map, a special-purpose lock-free map for tracing.

tracing_map is designed to aggregate or 'sum' one or more values
associated with a specific object of type tracing_map_elt, which
is associated by the map to a given key.

It provides various hooks allowing per-tracer customization and is
separated out into a separate file in order to allow it to be shared
between multiple tracers, but isn't meant to be generally used outside
of that context.

The tracing_map implementation was inspired by lock-free map
algorithms originated by Dr. Cliff Click:

tracing_map is a special-purpose lock-free map for tracing,
separated out as a stand-alone facility in order to allow it
to be shared between multiple tracers. It isn't meant to be
generally used outside of that context, and is normally
selected by tracers that use it.
If in doubt, say N.
