tracing/wprobe: Add wprobe (watchpoint probe) trace event support
This commit introduces hardware-breakpoint-based dynamic trace event support
(wprobe). It creates dynamic events on data read/write accesses using
hardware breakpoints and logs the access context and fetchargs.

[Severity: Low]
Does this advertise a non-existent interface file to the user?
The readme_msg instructs users to write to wprobe_events, but it appears
this file is never created by this patch.
