[Review][IcedTea-Web]: Add tracing to itw

[Omair Majid]

Hi,

I talked to Andrew Su offline about this (a while ago actually), so this
is mostly for the list.

I don't think this is the right approach at all. As far as I know, the
only place where tracing is (supposed to be?) visible to a user (using
the proprietary plugin) is through the Java Console. This patch makes it
so that tracing and our Java Console don't mix.

A much simpler solution, IMHO is to simply fix the existing debug
statements and add new ones where appropriate. The Java Console shows
the debug statements just fine; they will simply double as trace
statements too.

Thanks,
Omair
