As discusses offline with @jj10305, we are updating some naming used throughout the code, specially in the json schema
- traceBuffer -> iptTrace
- core -> cpu

This diffs implements per-core tracing on lldb-server. It also includes tests that ensure that tracing can be initiated from the client and that the jLLDBGetState ppacket returns the list of trace buffers per core.
This doesn't include any decoder changes.
Finally, this makes some little changes here and there improving the existing code.
A specific piece of code that can't reliably be tested is when tracing
per core fails due to permissions. In this case we add a
troubleshooting message and this is the manual test:
```
/proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid set to 1
(lldb) process trace start --per-core-tracing error: perf event syscall failed: Permission denied
You might need that /proc/sys/kernel/perf_event_paranoid has a value of 0 or -1.

In order to open perf events per core, we need to first get the list of
core ids available in the system. So I'm adding a function that does
that by parsing /proc/cpuinfo. That seems to be the simplest and most
portable way to do that.
Besides that, I made a few refactors and renames to reflect better that
the cpu info that we use in lldb-server comes from procfs.
