tracing: rename EVENT_TRACER config to ENABLE_EVENT_TRACING 



Currently we have two configs: EVENT_TRACING and EVENT_TRACER.
All tracers enable EVENT_TRACING. The EVENT_TRACER is only a
convenience to enable the EVENT_TRACING when no other tracers
are enabled.

The names EVENT_TRACER and EVENT_TRACING are too similar and confusing.
This patch renames EVENT_TRACER to ENABLE_EVENT_TRACING to be more
appropriate to what it actually does, as well as add a comment in
the help menu to explain the option's purpose.

[ Impact: rename config option to reduce confusion ]
