plugins: extend execlog to filter matches

Sometimes the whole execlog is just two much so add the ability to
filter by instruction opcode or address.

[AJB: this shows for example

 qemu-system-aarch64 -display none -serial mon:stdio \
   -M virt -cpu max \
   -semihosting-config enable=on \
   -kernel ./tests/tcg/aarch64-softmmu/memory-sve \
   -plugin ./contrib/plugins/libexeclog.so,ifilter=st1w,afilter=0x40001808 -d plugin -D plugin.out

the st1w SVE instruction is not instrumenting its stores.]
