The futex syscall is a complicated one. It supports thirteen
multiplexed operations, each with different semantics and encodings for
the syscalls six arguments.
Manually decoding these arguments is tedious and error prone.
This plugin provides symbolic names for futex operations, futex flags,
and tries to be intelligent about the intent of specific arguments (for
example, waking operations use 'val' as an integer count, not just an
arbitrary value).
It doesn't do a full decode of the FUTEX_WAKE_OP's 'val3' argument,
however, this is a good starting point.

All traceevent plugins code is moved to tools/lib/traceevent/plugins
subdirectory. It makes traceevent implementation in trace-cmd and in
kernel tree consistent. There is no changes in the way libtraceevent and
plugins are compiled and installed.
Committer notes:
Applied fixup provided by Steven, fixing the tools/perf/Makefile.perf
target for the plugin dynamic list file. Problem noticed when cross
building to aarch64 from a Ubuntu 19.04 container.
