Add a callback to allow an ftrace plug-in to write its own header.
Move the call to trace->open() up a few lines.
The changes are required by the BTS ftrace plug-in.

That's a good idea IMHO. The trace file has always the same header
which fits the needs of function
tracer for example, but these headers are wrong for other tracers. And
be able to set custom header
for each one will help for new users of a tracer.
