James O. D. Hunt 9b987c17d9 src: Add trace forwarder component
Add a new system component, used only when tracing is enabled. The
component listens to the agent over VSOCK, forwarding trace spans
created by the agent in the virtual machine onwards to an OpenTelemetry
collector (such as Jaeger) running on the host.

Fixes: #224.

Trace Forwarder

Overview

The Kata Containers trace forwarder, kata-trace-forwarder, is a component running on the host system which is used to support tracing the agent process which runs inside the virtual machine.

The trace forwarder, which must be started before the agent, listens over VSOCK for trace data sent by the agent running inside the virtual machine. The trace spans are exported to an OpenTelemetry collector (such as Jaeger) running by default on the host.
