markers: auto enable tracepoints (new API : trace_mark_tp())

Impact: new API

Add a new API trace_mark_tp(), which declares a marker within a
tracepoint probe. When the marker is activated, the tracepoint is
automatically enabled.

No branch test is used at the marker site, because it would be a
duplicate of the branch already present in the tracepoint.

Place an empty function call at each marker site. Can be
dynamically changed for a probe function.
