trace: Specify trace file name

Allow users to specify a file for trace-outputs at configuration.
Also, allow trace files to be annotated by <pid> so each qemu instance has
unique traces.

The trace file name can be passed as a config option:
--trace-file=/path/to/file
(Default: trace )
At runtime, the pid of the qemu process is appended to the filename so
that mutiple qemu instances do not have overlapping logs.

Eg : trace-1234 for qemu launched with pid 1234.

I have yet to test this on windows. getpid() is used at many places
in code(including vnc.c), so I'm hoping this would be okay too.
