simpletrace: Move st_init() error reporting

User emulator builds do not have error_report() so it should not be used

simpletrace: Thread-safe tracing

Trace events outside the global mutex cannot be used with the simple
trace backend since it is not thread-safe. There is no check to prevent

trace: Support for dynamically enabling/disabling trace events

This patch adds support for dynamically enabling/disabling of trace events.
This is done by internally maintaining each trace event's state, and

Open, close, or flush the trace file.  If no argument is given,
  the status of the trace file is displayed.

The trace file is turned on by default but is only written out when the...
