[DTrace-devel] [PATCH v2 1/7] libdtrace: Support multiple DTrace handles per process

For use cases like PCP we require multiple DTrace handles
in a process; to fix this ensure we tie global map creation
to the handle and also allow BEGIN and END probes to already
exist. Later work can capitalize on efficiences like sharing
kernel type info, but for now this is enough to make multiple
instances work.
