* tapsets.cxx (struct mark_derived_probe): Renamed 'probe_sig' to
'probe_format'.
(mark_derived_probe::mark_derived_probe): Added new "format" probe
point component.
(mark_derived_probe::parse_probe_format): Renamed from
'mark_derived_probe::parse_probe_sig'.
(struct mark_builder): Added typedefs. Converted mark_cache from
a map to a multimap to handle markers with the same name but
different formats.
(mark_builder::build): Added new 'format' probe parameter.
(register_standard_tapsets): Added new 'format' marker probe
optional parameter.
* stapprobes.5.in (parts): Documented new "format" probe
