Integrate tracing agent into plugin

[mipastgt]

I love the idea to be able to create a native application for a lot of platforms, but for real-world applications the real PITA is to identify and configure all the classes which are loaded via reflection and all the resources that may be needed as well. I would therefore like to see the already existing tracing agent beeing integrated into the plugins (Maven and Gradle).

See: https://medium.com/graalvm/introducing-the-tracing-agent-simplifying-graalvm-native-image-configuration-c3b56c486271

Without the help of such a tool I don't see a real chance to get any reasonably sized application running as a native application.

Many thanks for the great work so far. Michael

This looks interesting and I agree with Michael on that. Only: It should also be integrated into the Maven plugin as well.

Absolutely true. (also about the maven request). Before we can do that, we need to have the GraalVM tracing agent working with Java 11+ and the JNI platform, but that is just a matter of time.

@bgmf Of course this also applies to the Maven plugin (and actually this is my preferred one) but as these are two separate projects you always have to create cross-references for such issues (which I obviously forgot).
