[PATCH 3/3] trace: Forbid dynamic field width in event format

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Since not all trace backends support dynamic field width in
format (dtrace via stap does not), forbid them.

Add a check to refuse field width in new formats:

  $ make
  [...]
    GEN     hw/block/trace.h
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "scripts/tracetool.py", line 152, in <module>
      main(sys.argv)
    File "scripts/tracetool.py", line 143, in main
      events.extend(tracetool.read_events(fh, arg))
    File "scripts/tracetool/__init__.py", line 371, in read_events
      event = Event.build(line)
    File "scripts/tracetool/__init__.py", line 285, in build
      raise ValueError("Event format must not contain field width '%*'")
  ValueError: Error at hw/block/trace-events:11: Event format must not contain 
field width '%*'
