tracing: Add hist_debug trace event files for histogram debugging

Add a new "hist_debug" file for each trace event, which when read will
dump out a bunch of internal details about the hist triggers defined
on that event.

This is normally off but can be enabled by saying 'y' to the new
CONFIG_HIST_TRIGGERS_DEBUG config option.

This is in support of the new Documentation file describing histogram
internals, Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst, which was
requested by developers trying to understand the internals when
extending or making use of the hist triggers for higher-level tools.

The histogram-design.rst documentation refers to the hist_debug files
and demonstrates their use with output in the test examples.

+          dump out a bunch of internal details about the hist triggers
+          defined on that event.
+
+          The hist_debug file serves a couple of purposes:
+
+            - Helps developers verify that nothing is broken.
+
+            - Provides educational information to support the details
+              of the hist trigger internals as described by
+              Documentation/trace/histogram-design.rst.
+
+          The hist_debug output only covers the data structures
+          related to the histogram definitions themselves and doesn't
+          display the internals of map buckets or variable values of
+          running histograms.
+
+          If unsure, say N.
