libsysprof/preload: add example for tracing with -finstrument-functions

If we have tooling that can toggle -finstrument-functions, Builder for
example, then we'd be able to use an LD_PRELOAD to inject the various
function callbacks to record samples.

I dont think we want to use the sample frame type for this though. We
really want something focused on tracing instead and visualize it a bit
differently than the stack trace visualizer.
