The Supernova statistic should have an associated tracer type in SACC

Discussed in #314

Currently, the Supernova statistic uses a tracer of type sacc.tracers.MiscTracer (see https://sacc.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tracers.html).

Should it instead have a dedicated tracer type? It would seem that this would at the very least help prevent misconfigurations of programs, helping to avoid the reading of wrong tracers from the SACC data.

What would the features of this type be?

Would someone working with the Supernova statistic in analysis volunteer to take on implementing such a thing?

Please see discussion #314 for the proposal on how to implement this feature.
