strace 4.16 released

[Dmitry V. Levin]

Starting with version 4.13, strace follows the schedule of linux kernel
and new versions of strace are released along with new version of linux
kernel.  I assume that linux kernel v4.10 is not going to be different
from -rc8 with regards to strace, so strace 4.16 is tagged and uploaded.

strace 4.16 would not be as good as it is without significant assistance
by Eugene Syromyatnikov.

$ git tag -v v4.16 2> /dev/null | sed -n '/^$/,$p'
