trace: let boot trace be chosen by command line

Now that we have a working ftrace=<tracer> function, make the boot
tracer get activated by it. This way we can turn it on or off without
recompiling the kernel, as well as keeping the selftests on. The
selftests are disabled whenever a default tracer starts running.
