btrace: Introduce auxiliary instructions.
Auxiliary instructions are pseudo instructions pointing to auxiliary data. This auxiliary data can be printed in all commands displaying (record function-call-history, record instruction-history) or stepping through (stepi etc.) the execution history, which will be introduced in the next commits. This patch is in preparation for the new ptwrite feature, which is based on auxiliary instructions. Approved-By: Markus Metzger <markus.t.metzger@intel.com> Reviewed-By: Eli Zaretskii <eliz@gnu.org>
