Persistently enabling trace2 output is difficult because it requires specifying a full filename. This series teaches tr2_dst_get_trace_fd() to create files underneath a given directory provided as the target of the GIT_TR2_* envvars. Changes since V2: * No longer appends a suffix to filenames on the first creation attempt. * Renamed function & constant now that randomization is no longer used. * Simplified strbuf usage. Changes since V1: * No longer supports timestamp templates. * No longer supports filename prefixes. * Always creates filenames based on the final component of the trace2 SID.
