 * Configure a filter for packet traces.
 *
 * This supplements the packet trace feature so that only packets matching
 * the filter are included in the trace. Currently the only filter is to
 * keep packets that include a certain node in the trace or exclude a certain
 * node in the trace.
 *
 * The count of traced packets in the "trace add" command is still used to
 * create a certain number of traces. The "trace filter" command specifies
 * how many of those packets should be retained in the trace.
 *
 * For example, 1Mpps of traffic is arriving and one of those packets is being
 * dropped. To capture the trace for only that dropped packet, you can do:
 *     trace filter include error-drop 1
 *     trace add dpdk-input 1000000
 *     <wait one second>
 *     show trace
 *
 * Note that the filter could be implemented by capturing all traces and just
 * reducing traces displayed by the "show trace" function. But that would
 * require a lot of memory for storing the traces, making that infeasible.
 *
 * To remove traces from the trace pool that do not include a certain node
 * requires that the trace be "complete" before applying the filter. To
 * accomplish this, the trace pool is filtered upon each iteraction of the
 * main vlib loop. Doing so keeps the number of allocated traces down to a
 * reasonably low number. This requires that tracing for a buffer is not
 * performed after the vlib main loop interation completes. i.e. you can't
 * save away a buffer temporarily then inject it back into the graph and
 * expect that the trace_index is still valid (such as a traffic manager might
 * do). A new trace buffer should be allocated for those types of packets.
 *
 * The filter can be extended to support multiple nodes and other match
 * criteria (e.g. input sw_if_index, mac address) but for now just checks if
 * a specified node is in the trace or not in the trace.
