x86, ptrace: new ptrace BTS API

Here's the new ptrace BTS API that supports two different overflow handling mechanisms (wrap-around and buffer-full-signal) to support two different use cases (debugging and profiling).

It further combines buffer allocation and configuration.

Opens:
- memory rlimit
- overflow signal

What would be the right signal to use?
