[Bug translator/6445] extend utrace probes with "system-wide" and target-process syntax

["fche at redhat dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

For purposes of this, it would be sufficient to have two
extensions:

- process("*") syntax
  that maps to the task_finder's unrestricted pathname/pid

- target-process syntax
  that maps to another task_finder option that restricts its
  monitoring to the target() (stap -c/-x) hierarchy

Maybe these two could be the same -- i.e., if someone runs "stap -c/-x",
then process("*").foo (or simpler, process.foo) probes would automagically
be restricted to the target process hierarchy.

Finally, bug #6456 could be a followup to support finer-grained
wildcards as in process("/bin/*").
