tracing: Add hist trigger support for clearing a trace
Allow users to append 'clear' to an existing trigger in order to have
the hash table cleared.
This expands the hist trigger syntax from this:
# echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy:sort=zzz.descending:pause/cont \
[ if filter] >> event/trigger
to this:
# echo hist:keys=xxx:vals=yyy:sort=zzz.descending:pause/cont/clear \
[ if filter] >> event/trigger
