[PATCH v2 18/18] trace-cmd: Get current clock for host-guest tracing session

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

In host-guest tracing session, all peers should use the same tracing
clock. If there is no user configured trace clock, the current logic
assumes "local" clock for the session. This could be wrong, as other
clock than "local" could be already configured on the host, before
running trace-cmd. The default clock for host-guest tracing session
should be rertieved from the host's "trace_clock" file.
