[v2,0/9] cxl: add monitor support for trace events

Message

v2:
- Simplify logging functions (Nathan)
- Drop ndctl prefix (Vishal)
- Reduce to single trace event system (Alison)
- Add systemd startup file
- Add man page

This patch series for ndctl implements the monitor command for the cxl
tool. The initial implementation will collect CXL trace events emitted
by the kernel. libtraceevent and libtracefs will be used to parse the
trace event buffer. The monitor will pend on an epoll fd and wait for
new event entries to be posted. The output will be in json format. By
default the events are emitted to stdio, but can also be logged to a
file. Each event is converted to a JSON object and logged as such.
All the fields exported are read by the monitor code and added to the
JSON object.
