    PR9959: hide tracepoint arguments of unknown type
    
    We always have to know the type name of tracepoint arguments, so we can
    declare the right function callback, but we can suppress access to those
    types which we don't (yet) know how to read.

    PR9959: improve tracepoint arg type-naming
    
    dwarf_type_name now works with more argument types.  There were
    three cases that I needed to improve:
    
    - For "const struct foo*", the debuginfo has a const-DIE named "foo"
      chained to a struct-DIE named "foo", so we can't assume that seeing a
      name means we're down to the base type.  The recursion now decends
      until it explicitly sees a base_type, typedef, struct, or union.
    
    - For "void*", the debuginfo has a pointer-DIE without any DW_AT_type
      after.  Now I'm just catching that failed lookup and writing in
      "void".
    
    - For "va_list", the debuginfo actually resolves to an internal type
      "struct __va_list_tag*", but that struct has no declaration at the
      source level.  I'm just hacking that exact case to say "va_list"
      instead, but it would be nice to find something cleaner...
    
    We'll probably still have problems if any tracepoint uses a function-
    pointer argument, but so far I've only seen that as a "void*", which we
    now handle ok.

    Support tracepoints with no arguments
    
    LTTng has a few tracepoints without any arguments, which caused our
    compile to fail, claiming that our entry function was not a declaration.
    This just adds an explicit (void) argument list for that case.
