[PATCH v13 13/29] tracing: Add hist trigger support for pausing and continuing a trace

[Tom Zanussi <tom.zanussi@linux.intel.com>]

Allow users to append 'pause' or 'continue' to an existing trigger in
order to have it paused or to have a paused trace continue.

This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:
    # echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy:sort=zzz.descending \
          [ if filter] >> event/trigger

to this:

    # echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy:sort=zzz.descending:pause or cont \
          [ if filter] >> event/trigger
