rtla-timerlat allows a *thread* latency threshold to be set via the
-T/--thread option. However, the timerlat tracer calls this *total*
latency (stop_tracing_total_us), and stops tracing also when the
return-to-user latency is over the threshold.
Change the behavior of the timerlat BPF program to reflect what the
timerlat tracer is doing, to avoid discrepancy between stopping
collecting data in the BPF program and stopping tracing in the timerlat
tracer.

Currently, rtla-timerlat BPF program uses a global variable stored in a
.bss section to store whether tracing has been stopped.
Move the information to a separate map, so that it is easily writable
from userspace, and add a function that clears the value, resuming
tracing after it has been stopped.

Add BPF program that attaches to the osnoise:timerlat_sample tracepoint
and collects both the summary and the histogram (if requested) into BPF
maps (one map of each kind per context).
The program is designed to be used for both timerlat-top and
timerlat-hist. If using with timerlat-top, the "entries" parameter is
set to zero, which prevents the BPF program from recording histogram
entries. In that case, the maps for histograms do not have to be
created, as the BPF verifier will identify the code using them as
unreachable.
An IRQ or thread latency threshold might be supplied to stop recording
if hit, similar to the timerlat tracer threshold, which stops ftrace
tracing if hit. A BPF ringbuffer is used to signal threshold overflow to
userspace. In aa-only mode, this is the only function of the BPF
program.
