Summary: Allow configuring all ConnTrackers' debug trace level at runtime

When debugging tracing issues with servers that handle requests pre-fork, it's not practical to use --stirling_conn_trace_pid (each request is served by a new PID). This change allows enabling debug tracing for all conn trackers to facilitate easier debugging.

Relevant Issues: N/A

Type of change: /kind feature

Test Plan: Skaffolded this change and verified that the following stirling_ctrl command enables CONN_TRACE globally.

$ ./stirling_ctrl ${pid_of_pem} 1 2

Changelog Message: Provide mechanism for debugging a PEM's connection tracking more easily at runtime
