trace: Add wildcard trace event support

A basic wildcard matching is supported in both the monitor command
"trace-event" and the events list file. That means you can enable/disable
the events having a common prefix in a batch. For example, virtio-blk trace
events could be enabled using:
    trace-event virtio_blk_* on
