perf trace: Pretty print buffer data
Define TRACE_AUG_MAX_BUF in trace_augment.h data, which is the maximum buffer size we can augment. BPF will include this header too. Print buffer in a way that's different than just printing a string, we print all the control characters in \digits (such as \0 for null, and \10 for newline, LF). For character that has a bigger value than 127, we print the digits instead of the character itself as well. Committer notes: Simplified the buffer scnprintf to avoid using multiple buffers as discussed in the patch review thread. We can't really all 'buf' args to SCA_BUF as we're collecting so far just on the sys_enter path, so we would be printing the previous 'read' arg buffer contents, not what the kernel puts there.
