tracehook: CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK
This adds the generic HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK kconfig item. Each arch should add to some Kconfig file: select HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK if the arch code uses all the latest hooks to enable newfangled tracing and debugging code. The comment in arch/Kconfig lists all the prerequisite arch support. When all these are available, setting HAVE_ARCH_TRACEHOOK will allow enabling any new features that depend on the modern arch interfaces.
