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.
