trace: add TRACE_<event>_BACKEND_DSTATE()
QEMU keeps track of trace event enabled/disabled state and provides
monitor commands to inspect and modify the "dstate".  SystemTap and
LTTng UST maintain independent enabled/disabled states for each trace
event, the other backends rely on QEMU dstate.

Introduce a new per-event macro that combines backend-specific dstate
like this:

  #define TRACE_MY_EVENT_BACKEND_DSTATE() ( \
      QEMU_MY_EVENT_ENABLED() || /* SystemTap */ \
      tracepoint_enabled(qemu, my_event) /* LTTng UST */ || \
      false)

This will be used to extend trace_event_get_state() in the next patch.

[Daniel Berrange pointed out that QEMU_MY_EVENT_ENABLED() must be true
by default, not false.  This way events will fire even if the DTrace
implementation does not implement the SystemTap semaphores feature.

Ubuntu Precise uses lttng-ust-dev 2.0.2 which does not have
tracepoint_enabled(), so we need a compatibility wrapper to keep Travis
builds passing.
