[Bug translator/6445] New: extend utrace probes with target-process syntax

[fche at redhat dot com]

We now have some process(PID).* and process("NAME").* probes.  This could be
extended to join the existing "stap -c CMD" / "stap -x PID" process targeting
facility:

* extend the task-finder logic to restrict its scanning of tasks to the
  staprun-given target-pid (and its descendants) only
* permit process.* utrace probes (i.e., not parametrized with "NAME" or PID,
  implicitly referring to the target-pid (and its descendants)

The "and its descendants" qualifier may need to be an option rather than
be hard-coded.
