[PATCH v2] Allow -q to be repeated for very quiet output

[Daniel P. Berrange]

From: "Daniel P. Berrange" <berrange at redhat.com>

Even with the -q flag specified, tracing output is still mixed
with messages about signals and process exit status, which is
often irrelevant. Allow the -q flag to be repeated to force
the suppression of signals / exit status info too.

* defs.h: Change 'qflag' from 'bool' to 'unsigned int'
* strace.1: Document ability to repeat '-q' arg
* strace.c: Allow '-q' to be repeated to quieten process
exit status and signal messages.
