mem: Add a "map" of packet IDs to strings in probe traces.
This map is intended to map from request MasterIDs to master names. It could
be used to map to arbitrary strings in other situations, however.
The original idea to store this information was to add a new message type
which would store one ID and the string associated with it. This change
stores
the IDs in the header instead so that they'll be easy to find and all
available before the packet data.
One downside of this approach is that it won't be possible to add new master
ID strings as they come up during a trace. If that becomes an issue, the two
approaches could be combined and messages could be added which would augment
the map in the header.
Also worth mentioning is that the proto2 version of the protobuf description
language does not support the "map" field type, and the protoc compiler on
my
workstation doesn't support proto3. Because that's such an appropriate
representation for this data, the map is represented in an equivalent format
described in the proto3 documentation.
