Subject: [PATCH v4 0/2] rtla: fix cgroup and trace options parsing

This series fixes 2 issue in rtla timerlat and osnoise parsing.

1. Make -C/--cgroup option more user-friendly. Currently rtla timerlat
   and osnoise parses does not allow to specify tracer's threads cgroup
   name as `-C [cgroup]` or `--cgroup [cgroup]`. Second patch fixes this
   by allowing users to specify cgroup in the aforementioned manner.

2. When specifying `-t/--trace` before `-a/--auto`, trace filename is
   override to default <osnoise|timerlat>_trace.txt. For example, when
   running rtla as

       `rtla timerlat top -t custom_file.txt -a 100`

   when the threshold is reached, timerlat_trace.txt file is created
   instead of specified custom_file.txt. Third patch addresses this
   issue.

changes v3 -> v4:
   - Removed patch [1] as it has been mainlined
   - Resolved merge conflicts with [2]

changes v2 -> v3:
   - Combined common logic into a utility function to parse optional
     argument value
   - Removed change that removed `clear_terminal` 

changes v1 -> v2:
   - Moved removing clear_terminal from `fix -C/--cgroup interface`
     patch to `fix -a overriding -t argument` patch
   - Added clarification why to remove clear_terminal
   - Added `Fixes:` tag to the `fix -C/--cgroup interface` patch
