Description
The goal here is to add option to filter out callback traces via pattern matching - user should be able to declare that they want only handle_info with specific arguments structure e.g.
handle_info({:new_message, %Message{priority: "high"}, _socket)

Research direction
Start from the callback-trace filtering entry point and inspect how handle_info traces and their arguments are represented. Define the pattern syntax using the provided {:new_message, %Message{priority: "high"}, _socket} example, then verify that only matching callback traces remain while other traces are filtered out.
