[PATCH 15/21] dynamic_debug: describe_flags with '=[ptmfl]*'

[Jim Cromie]

Describe flags in text using =<flag-chars>.  This has better mnemonics
than the current dash-unless-flags, it says "Flags are = <flag-chars>",
and =<flags> is more selective in a grep; '=' will not show up in module
or filenames, nor in line-ranges.

This isnt yet optimal; "grep ' = ' control" reports on a couple dozen
format-strings, this could be avoided by altering describe_flags()
to emit '-' or '_' for empty flags, such that the grep for empty
flags would be '=_'.  TBD.
