Daniel Bristot de Oliveira 792575348f rv/include: Add deterministic automata monitor definition via C macros
In Linux terms, the runtime verification monitors are encapsulated
inside the "RV monitor" abstraction. The "RV monitor" includes a set
of instances of the monitor (per-cpu monitor, per-task monitor, and
so on), the helper functions that glue the monitor to the system
reference model, and the trace output as a reaction for event parsing
and exceptions, as depicted below:

Add the rv/da_monitor.h, enabling automatic code generation for the
*Monitor Instance(s)* using C macros, and code to support it.

The benefits of the usage of macro for monitor synthesis are 3-fold as it:

- Reduces the code duplication;
- Facilitates the bug fix/improvement;
- Avoids the case of developers changing the core of the monitor code
  to manipulate the model in a (let's say) non-standard way.

This initial implementation presents three different types of monitor
instances:

- DECLARE_DA_MON_GLOBAL(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_CPU(name, type)
- DECLARE_DA_MON_PER_TASK(name, type)

The first declares the functions for a global deterministic automata monitor,
the second for monitors with per-cpu instances, and the third with per-task
instances.
