[LTP PATCH v2 0/5] ftrace: Convert shell tests to C implementation

This patch series converts ftrace shell-based tests to C implementation
to address GitHub issue #1282. The conversion provides better
maintainability, performance, and integration with LTP's C test
framework.

Changes in v2:
- Fixed compilation issues identified during testing
- Added TST_NO_DEFAULT_MAIN to ftrace_lib.c to prevent multiple main() definitions
- Changed tst_get_tmpdir() to tst_tmpdir_path() (correct LTP API)
- Removed tst_test.h from ftrace_lib.h (library headers shouldn't include it)
- Added tst_test.h includes to all test files
- Replaced SAFE_FPRINTF with SAFE_FILE_PRINTF in ftrace_regression01.c
- Removed unused variable in ftrace_stress_test.c
- Changed max_runtime to timeout in ftrace_stress_test.c
- Removed deprecated [Description] headers from test files
- Replaced usleep() with TST_RETRY_FUNC() to comply with LTP Ground Rule 2
- Fixed Makefile: moved dependency rules after generic_leaf_target.mk include
- Added FILTER_OUT_MAKE_TARGETS for library object
- Changed to per-target LDLIBS for pthread linking
- Removed unnecessary INSTALL_TARGETS
- Updated runtest/tracing to use C binaries
- Removed invalid "Fixes: #1282" tags from all commits
- All patches now have proper Signed-off-by tags

Summary of changes:
- Patch 1: Add common ftrace library (ftrace_lib.c/h)
- Patch 2: Convert ftrace_regression01.sh to C
- Patch 3: Convert ftrace_regression02.sh to C  
- Patch 4: Convert 18 ftrace_stress/*.sh scripts to single C implementation
- Patch 5: Remove obsolete shell scripts

Key improvements:
- Multi-threaded stress testing using pthread
- Proper LTP API usage (TST_RETRY_FUNC, SAFE_* macros)
- Better error handling and resource management
- Reduced code duplication through shared library
- Compliance with LTP coding standards and ground rules

Testing:
- All tests compile successfully without warnings
- Tests run correctly and produce expected results (PASS/TCONF)
- Verified on Power architecture (ppc64le)
