0: "none": don't collect any history. Fastest, but means we can
only show one of the two stacks in a race.
1: "approx": collect one stack trace per (notional) segment, that
is, collect a stack trace for a thread every time its vector
clock changes. This faciliates showing the bounds of the
conflicting segment(s), with relatively small overhead.
2: "full": collect a stack trace every time the constraints for a
location change. This facilitates showing both stack traces in
a race, although can be very expensive in time and space
(depends on the rate that threads "drag" locations across
vector-clock-change boundaries ("dragovers"). This involves
collecting and storing large numbers of call stacks just in case
we might need to show them later, and so is expensive (although
very useful). */

GCs, just frequently enough to keep space use under control, as
determined by heuristics in libhb_core.c.

mostly a big time waster, but minimises space use. */
