Hi Tzvetomir,

I was thinking, before we release libtracecmd, we should add
tracecmd_open() and tracecmd_open_fd() to the library. Just because I find
that tracecmd_open_head() is a awkward name to have alone and only makes
sense if there's already a tracecmd_open(). It will also help with
differentiating the different functions.

I know we were going to only have functions that kernelshark uses, but that
may be a little too limiting.

Thanks!
