[Tarantool-patches] [PATCH luajit v2 1/2] memprof: dump traceno if allocate from trace

When LuaJIT executes a trace, the trace number is stored in
the virtual machine state. So, we can treat this number as
an allocation event source in memprof and report allocation events
from traces as well.

Previously, all the allocations from traces were marked as INTERNAL.

This patch introduces the functionality described above by adding
a new allocation source type named ASOURCE_TRACE. If at the moment
when allocation event occurs VM state indicates that trace executed,
trace number streamed to a binary file:

| loc-trace := trace-no
| trace-no  := <ULEB128>

Also, the memory profiler parser was adjusted to recognize this
source type by extending <loc> structure: field <traceno>,
representing trace number, was added.
