scripts: Reworked tracebd.py, needs cleanup

It's a mess but it's working. Still a number of TODOs to cleanup...

This adopts all of the changes in dbgbmap.py/dbgbmapd3.py, block
grouping, nested curves, Canvas, Attrs, etc:

- Like dbgbmap.py, we now group by block first before applying space
  filling curves, using nested space filling curves to render byte-level
  operations.

  Python's ft.lru_cache really shines here.

  The previous behavior is still available via -u/--contiguous

- Adopted most features in dbgbmap.py, so --to-scale, -t/--tiny, custom
  --title strings, etc.

- Adopted Attrs so now chars/coloring can be customized with
  -./--add-char, -,/--add-wear-char, -C/--add-color,
  -G/--add-wear-color.

- Renamed -R/--reset -> --volatile, which is a much better name.

- Wear is now colored cyan -> white -> read, which is a bit more
  visually interesting. And we're not using cyan in any scripts yet.

In addition to the new stuff, there were a few simplifications:

- We no longer support sub-char -n/--lines with -:/--dots or
  -⣿/--braille. Too complicated, required Canvas state hacks to get
  working, and wasn't super useful.

  We probably want to avoid doing too much cleverness with -:/--dots and
  -⣿/--braille since we can't color sub-chars.

- Dropped -@/--blocks byte-level range stuff. This was just not worth
  the amount of complexity it added. -@/--blocks is now limited to
  simple block ranges. High-level scripts should stick to high-level
  options.

- No fancy/complicated Bmap class. The bmap object is just a dict of
  TraceBlocks which contain RangeSets for relevant operations.

  Actually the new RangeSet class deserves a mention but this commit
  message is probably already too long.

  RangeSet is a decently efficient set of, well, ranges, that can be
  merged and queried. In a lower-level language it should be implemented
  as a binary tree, but in Python we're just using a sorted list because
  we're probably not going to be able to beat O(n) list operations.

- Wear is tracked at the block level, no reason to overcomplicate this.

- We no longer resize based on new info. Instead we either expect a
  -b/--block-size argument or wait until first bd init call.

  We can probably drop the block size in BD_TRACE statements now, but
  that's a TODO item.

- Instead of one amalgamated regex, we use string searches to figure out
  the bd op and then smaller regexes to parse. Lesson learned here:
  Python's string search is very fast (compared to regex).

- We do _not_ support labels on blocks like we do in treemap.py/
  codemap.py. It's less useful here and would just be more hassle.

I also tried to reorganize main a bit to mirror the simple two-main
approach in dbgbmap.py and other ascii-rendering scripts, but it's a bit
difficult here since trace info is very stateful. Building up main
functions in the main main function seemed to work well enough:

  main -+-> main_ -> trace__ (main thread)
        '-> draw_ -> draw__ (daemon thread)

---

You may note some weirdness going on with flags. That's me trying to
avoid upcoming flag conflicts.

I think we want -n/--lines in more scripts, now that it's relatively
self-contained, but this conflicts with -n/--namespace-depth in
codemap[d3].py, and risks conflict with -N/--notes in csv.py which may
end up with namespace-related functionality in the future.

I ended up hijacking -_, but this conflicted with -_/--add-line-char in
plot.py, but that's ok because we also want a common "secondary char"
flag for wear in tracebd.py... Long story short I ended up moving a
bunch of flags around:

- added                   -n/--lines
- -n/--namespace-depth -> -_/--namespace-depth
- -N/--notes           -> -N/--notes
- -./--add-char        -> -./--add-char
- -_/--add-line-char   -> -,/--add-line-char
- added                   -,/--add-wear-char
- -C/--color           -> -C/--add-color
- added                -> -G/--add-wear-color

Worth it? Dunno.
