[PATCH v3 1/5] trace-cmd: Add new libtracefs API tracefs_instance_file_append()

["Tzvetomir Stoyanov (VMware)" <tz.stoyanov@gmail.com>]

The existing tracefs_instance_file_write() API truncates the file before writing to it.
The are use cases where the file must not be truncated. The new
  tracefs_instance_file_append()
API appends to the end of the file.
