Andreas Hansson f456c7983d mem: Add tracing support in the communication monitor
This patch adds packet tracing to the communication monitor using a
protobuf as the mechanism for creating the trace.

If no file is specified, then the tracing is disabled. If a file is
specified, then for every packet that is successfully sent, a protobuf
message is serialized to the file.
