RTEMS trace linker builds trace applications.

The trace linker builds the both_hello example in examples-v2.

Move the various string support functions into a C++ file and stop being
inlined. Make them return const std::string.

Add ld support to rld-cc.

Add search path support to rld-config so installed common files can be used.

Fix the path bugs.

Add an absolute path function to rld-path.
