rtla: Add hwnoise tool

The hwnoise tool is a special mode for the osnoise top tool.

hwnoise dispatches the osnoise tracer and displays a summary of the noise.
The difference is that it runs the tracer with the OSNOISE_IRQ_DISABLE
option set, thus only allowing only hardware-related noise, resulting in
a simplified output. hwnoise has the same features of osnoise.

An example of the tool's output:

 # rtla hwnoise -c 1-11 -T 1 -d 10m -q
                                           Hardware-related Noise
