They are global for the node for all future call trace flags,
so it's not necessary to set them repeatedly with every request.
Doing it once at startup also ensures we can't have race
conditions when the user wants to change which trace patterns
should be used (because requests are concurrent and patterns
end up overwriting themselves repeatedly), and makes this
changing of trace patterns much more straightforward: the
user can just define the ones they want. The default function
traces everything.
In addition I have also added the tracer_flags option to make
the trace flags configurable, excluding the tracer pid.

If we do then we end up killing the tracer after the stream
terminates and this is not what we want. This prevents us from
getting useful information from requests that are still ongoing
(when they run concurrently) and completely prevents us from
tracing Websocket handlers.
I'm not the biggest fan of having unsupervised modules but if
this is properly documented there should be no problem.

It was mistakenly discarded.

Another experimental stream handler. It enables tracing for
the connection process and any children processes based on
the matching of the request. It can be used to do ad-hoc
tracing by sending a specific header, path, method or other.
It is meant to be used both for tests and production. Some
configuration scenarios are NOT safe for production, beware.
It's important to understand that, at this time, tracing
is enabled on the scale of the entire connection including
any future request processes. Keep this in mind when trying
to use it in production. The only way to stop tracing is
by having the callback function exit (by calling exit/1
explicitly). This can be done after a certain number of
events for example. Tracing can generate a lot of events,
so it's a good idea to stop after a small number of events
(between 1000 and 10000 should be good) and to avoid tracing
the whole world.
Documentation will follow at a later time.
