Implement tracing mode support (mainly for write-to-disk mode) in
TraceCmdInstrument, enabling efficient collection of large trace
datasets without encountering memory limitations.
This feature is particularly useful for scenarios requiring extensive
trace data.
Additional changes:
- Replace hardcoded strings with corresponding string literals for
improved maintainability.

Add an instrument that uses devlib's PerfettoCollector to collect a
Perfetto trace during the execution of a workload.
The instrument takes a path to a Perfetto config file which specifies
how Perfetto should be configured for the tracing.

Allow optionally setting the top level ftrace buffer size separately
from the devlib buffer size. The parameter will be passed to the devlib
FtraceCollector and take effect there.

- Add copyright headers to files that did not already have them
- Update the year to the last year the file was modified in files with
existing headers.
Extracting trace and pulling the trace file from the target can take a
relatively long time, as the trace file can be tens, and even hundreds,
of MB. Add an info-level log message to inform the user why WA execution
appears to have paused for a few seconds.
Both the instrument and utility functions were called `trace-cmd.py`.
`"-"`'s are not valid python identifiers therefore when trying to import
the `trace-cmd` module this causes an error.
