Change a confusing design in traceroute. The TraceProbes map is a

mapping from source port number to probes. Upon output, the map was
transformed in place to a map of TTL values to probes. Operations that
worked before output wouldn't work after output and vice versa. Now the
TTL-to-probe map is kept separate in a local variable.
