3b772b96b8 tracing: Update some tracing_map constants and comments
Make it clear exactly how many keys and values are supported through
better defines, and add 1 to the vals count, since normally clients
want support for at least a hitcount and two other values.

Also, note the error return value for tracing_map_add_key/val_field()
in the comments.

8d44f2f34f tracing: Fix TRACING_MAP Kconfig
The config option for TRACING_MAP has "default n", which is not needed
because the default of configs is 'n'.

Also, since the TRACING_MAP has no config prompt, there's no reason to
include "If in doubt, say N" in the help text.

Fixed a typo in the comments of tracing_map.h.

08d43a5fa0 tracing: Add lock-free tracing_map
Add tracing_map, a special-purpose lock-free map for tracing.

tracing_map is designed to aggregate or 'sum' one or more values
associated with a specific object of type tracing_map_elt, which
is associated by the map to a given key.

It provides various hooks allowing per-tracer customization and is
separated out into a separate file in order to allow it to be shared
between multiple tracers, but isn't meant to be generally used outside
of that context.

The tracing_map implementation was inspired by lock-free map
algorithms originated by Dr. Cliff Click:
