rtla/timerlat: Add the automatic trace option

Add the -a/--auto <arg in us> option. This option sets some commonly
used options while debugging the system. It aims to help users produce
reports in the field, reducing the number of arguments passed to the
tool in the first approach to a problem.

It is equivalent to setting osnoise/stop_tracing_total_us and print_stack
with the argument, and saving the trace to timerlat_trace.txt file if the
trace is stopped automatically.
