rtla: Add --trigger support
Add --trigger option. This option enables a trace event trigger to the previous -e sys:event argument, allowing some advanced tracing options. For instance, in a system with CPUs 2:23 isolated, it is possible to get a stack trace of thread wakeup targeting those CPUs while running osnoise with the following command line: # osnoise top -c 2-23 -a 50 -e sched:sched_wakeup --trigger="stacktrace if target_cpu >= 2" This option is available for all current tools.
