[PATCH 04/13] tracing/simple_ring_buffer: Add support for compressed length

[Vincent Donnefort]

The array length is the total size in bytes of the data for the current
event. It is possible to compress this value into the event header type,
which has 28 unused types, saving 32 bits for sufficiently small events.

The compressed length is expressed as a multiple of the ring-buffer
alignment, 4-bytes by default. Enforces this alignment.
