tracing/probe: add a char type to show the character value of traced arguments

Browse Source 
There are scenes that we want to show the character value of traced
arguments other than a decimal or hexadecimal or string value for debug
convinience. I add a new type named 'char' to do it and a new test case
file named 'kprobe_args_char.tc' to do selftest for char type.

For example:

The to be traced function is 'void demo_func(char type, char *name);', we
can add a kprobe event as follows to show argument values as we want:

echo  'p:myprobe demo_func $arg1:char +0($arg2):char[5]' > kprobe_events

we will get the following trace log:

... myprobe: (demo_func+0x0/0x29) arg1='A' arg2={'b','p','f','1',''}
