tracing/probes: Support function parameters if BTF is available
Support function or tracepoint parameters by name if BTF support is enabled
and the event is for function entry (this feature can be used with kprobe-
events, fprobe-events and tracepoint probe events.)
Note that the BTF variable syntax does not require a prefix. If it starts
with an alphabetic character or an underscore ('_') without a prefix like
'$' and '%', it is considered as a BTF variable.
If you specify only the BTF variable name, the argument name will also
be the same name instead of 'arg*'.
