Bug#971976: libtraceevent-dev: please build from git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git

Hi,

This is similar to #948041 and libtraceevent now lives in its own repo
at git.kernel.org/pub/scm/libs/libtrace/libtraceevent.git.

The upstream maintainer hopes that this will now be the source of all
updates to the libtraceevent library that can be used as a stand alone
package that both perf and tracecmd can use.

Link to the announcement mail at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201007130750.49349844@gandalf.local.home/

If the kernel team agrees I can raise a MR to remove the build of
libtraceevent from the kernel source and can also make it a separate
package and maintain it.
