src: use std::string for trace enabled_categories

A std::string manages its own memory, so using one removes the implicit
assumption that the argv vector passed to node will never be
deallocated. Also, the enabled_categories are used to construct a
std::stringstream, so its simpler to use the standard library
consistently.
