tracing: Add hist_debug trace event files for histogram debugging
Add a new "hist_debug" file for each trace event, which when read will dump out a bunch of internal details about the hist triggers defined on that event. This is normally off but can be enabled by saying 'y' to the new CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG config option. This is in support of the new Documentation file describing histogram internals, Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst, which was requested by developers trying to understand the internals when extending or making use of the hist triggers for higher-level tools. The histogram-design.rst documentation refers to the hist_debug files and demonstrates their use with output in the test examples.

+ Add "hist_debug" file for each event, which when read will
+ dump out a bunch of internal details about the hist triggers
+ defined on that event.
+
+ The hist_debug file serves a couple of purposes:
+
+ - Helps developers verify that nothing is broken.
+
+ - Provides educational information to support the details
+ of the hist trigger internals as described by
+ Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst.
+
+ The hist_debug output only covers the data structures
+ related to the histogram definitions themselves and doesn't
+ display the internals of map buckets or variable values of
+ running histograms.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
