Writes trace events to the system trace buffer. These trace events can be collected and visualized using the Systrace tool.

This tracing mechanism is independent of the method tracing mechanism offered by Debug.startMethodTracing. In particular, it enables tracing of events that occur across multiple processes.

For information about using the Systrace tool, read Analyzing Display and Performance with Systrace.

Caches a copy of the enabled-tag bits. The "master" copy is held by the native code, and comes from the PROPERTY_TRACE_TAG_ENABLEFLAGS property.

If the native code hasn't yet read the property, we will cause it to do one-time initialization. We don't want to do this during class init, because this class is preloaded, so all apps would be stuck with whatever the zygote saw. (The zygote doesn't see the system-property update broadcasts.)

We want to defer initialization until the first use by an app, post-zygote.

We're okay if multiple threads call here simultaneously -- the native state is synchronized, and sEnabledTags is volatile (prevents word tearing).
