[RFC/PATCH 1/3] scripts: Allow recordmcount to be used without tracing enabled

In the next patch we're going to modify recordmcount to also
record locations of calls to __aeabi_{u}idiv(). Lay the
groundwork for this by adding a flag to recordmcount that
indicates if we're expected to find calls to mcount or not.
