2021-02-01trace: update docs with meson build informationStefan Hajnoczi1-23/+34
The documentation still refers to the makefile and the old sub-directory layout. Meson works differently: tracetool output is placed into the builddir with mangled filenames like <builddir>/trace/trace-accel_kvm.h for the accel/kvm/ trace.h definition. This meson setup also requires a manually-created accel/kvm/trace.h file that #includes the <builddir>/trace/trace-accel_kvm.h file. Document this!

2021-02-01trace: document how to specify multiple --trace patternsStefan Hajnoczi1-2/+7
It is possible to repeat the --trace option to specify multiple patterns. This may be preferrable to users who do not want to create a file with a list of patterns.

2021-02-01trace: make the 'log' backend timestamp configurableStefan Hajnoczi1-0/+3
Timestamps in tracing output can be distracting. Make it possible to control tid/timestamp printing with -msg timestamp=on|off. The default is no tid/timestamps. Previously they were always printed.

2021-02-01trace: recommend "log" backend for getting started with tracingStefan Hajnoczi1-17/+18
The "simple" backend is actually more complicated to use than the "log" backend. Update the quickstart documentation to feature the "log" backend instead of the "simple" backend.
