docs(esp_trace): restructure tracing docs with esp_trace as master

Browse Source 
Reorganize the tracing documentation so esp_trace is the master
component, with app_trace, SystemView, and Gcov referenced from it.

This example demonstrates how to use the [Application Level Tracing Library](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-guides/app_trace.html#) (henceforth referred to as **App Trace**) to send and plot dummy sensor data to a host via JTAG instead of the normal method of logging via UART.

UART logs are time consuming and can significantly slow down the function that calls it. Therefore, it is generally a bad idea to use UART logs in time-critical functions. Logging to host via JTAG is significantly faster and can be used in time-critical functions. For more details regarding logging to host via JTAG, refer to the [Logging to Host Documentation](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/api-guides/app_trace.html#app-trace-logging-to-host).
