[Bug translator/4146] New: relax begin/end probe atomicity

- Reply-to: sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org
This would have several parts:
- ensuring that begin/end probes get sorted before/after all other probe groups
for registration/unregistration purposes. This is to preclude reentrancy.
- removing the interrupt-disabling boilerplate from begin/end probes. This is
to permit interrupts during long-running report-generation routines.
- enlarging (but not to infinity!!) the MAXACTIVE quantity for begin/end probes.
This is to permit large reports.
- turning the MAXACTIVE enforcement logic around, to store within the context
not an upward-counting actioncount, but a downward-counting
action-remaining-count. This would be initialized to MAXACTIVE for normal
probes, but to some larger quantity for begin/end probes. (Moots bug #1884.)
Make sure that counter is *signed*, just incase we underflow it by one or two.
