[Bug translator/11095] New: Support "provider" for mark() probes

Currently we do have a compatibility layer for dtrace probes, but we just toss
away the provider name (in sdt.h the macros take a provider string, but then
just don't use or store it anywhere).
This would help support multiple static probe names that only differ in their
provider name in an executable or shared library.
It would also maybe help in the future (when we can automagically detect
executables/shared libraries used/running) by not needing the executable path or
shared library to be given.
Probably the easiest way to support this would be to just add the provider name
to the name as stored in the .probes section already (prefixed with underscore
maybe?). We just will have to make sure that you can still select static probe
names without the provider and to select an "old style" no provider-included
name from the .probes section if none had been stored (added/mangled in the
.probes name).
