The tracing code is currently called from contexts such as sysmon and
the scheduler where write barriers are not allowed. Unfortunately,
while the common paths through the tracing code do not have write
barriers, many of the less common paths dealing with buffer overflow
and recycling do.

This change replaces all *traceBufs with traceBufPtrs. In the style of
guintptr, etc., the GC does not trace traceBufPtrs and write barriers
do not apply when these pointers are written. Since traceBufs are
allocated from non-GC'd memory and manually managed, this is always
safe.

Updates #10600.
