stm class: Rework policy node fallback

Currently, if no matching policy node can be found for a trace source,
we'll try to use "default" policy node, then, if that doesn't exist,
we'll pick the first node, in order of creation. If that also fails,
we'll allocate M/C range from the beginning of the device's M/C range.

This makes it difficult to know which node (if any) was used in any
particular case.

In order to make things more deterministic, the new order is as follows:
  * if they supply ID string, use that and nothing else,
  * if they are a task, use their task name (comm),
  * use "default", if it exists,
  * return failure, to let them know there is no suitable rule.

This should provide enough convenience with the "default" catch-all node,
while not leaving *everything* to chance. As a side effect, this relaxes
the requirement of using ioctl() for identification with the possibility of
using task names as policy nodes.
