Description

fusesoc has plusarg handling we can use to easily set ibex_trace_file_base from the command line when running a fusesoc build.

The appropriate .core files should be modified so we can utilise this.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the FuseSoC plusarg handling and the repository's .core files to identify which files define the relevant build settings. Update the appropriate .core files so ibex_tracer_file_base is a recognized plusarg, then verify that it can be set from the command line during a FuseSoC build.
