trace: forbid floating point types

Only one existing trace event uses a floating point type.  Unfortunately
float and double cannot be supported since SystemTap does not have
floating point types.

Remove float and double from the whitelist and document this limitation.
Update the migrate_transferred trace event to use uint64_t instead of
double.

@@ -104,6 +104,11 @@ Trace events should use types as follows:
  * For everything else, use primitive scalar types (char, int, long) with the
    appropriate signedness.
 
+ * Avoid floating point types (float and double) because SystemTap does not
+   support them.  In most cases it is possible to round to an integer type
+   instead.  This may require scaling the value first by multiplying it by 1000
+   or the like when digits after the decimal point need to be preserved.
+
 Format strings should reflect the types defined in the trace event.  Take
 special care to use PRId64 and PRIu64 for int64_t and uint64_t types,
 respectively.  This ensures portability between 32- and 64-bit platforms.
