trace2: write to directory targets
When the value of a trace2 environment variable is an absolute path
referring to an existing directory, write output to files (one per
process) underneath the given directory. Files will be named according
to the final component of the trace2 SID, followed by a counter to avoid
potential collisions.
This makes it more convenient to collect traces for every git invocation
by unconditionally setting the relevant trace2 envvar to a constant
directory name.
