Upgrade powertop from 2.15 to 2.16. This required importing libtracefs
from meta-oe since upstream removed its internal libtraceevent copy and
now links against the external libtracefs library.

The 2.16 release also switches to meson as the default build system [1].
The autotools build is broken (C++11 in configure.ac but the codebase
uses C++20 features throughout). See upstream issue #124 [2] which has
been open since 2025 with no fix.

A corresponding removal patch for meta-openembedded is needed once this
series lands (libtracefs moving from meta-oe to oe-core).
