Catapult (Chrome tracing) has a hard upper limit of 256 MB of JSON data.
This is independent of the number of events, because V8 can't store a
single string longer than that. Before these changes, longer traces
(eg all GL GMs, which was my test case) would be much larger (306 MB).
This CL includes four changes that help to reduce the text size:
1) Offset timestamps (saved 7.3 MB)
2) Limit timestamps and durations to 3 digits (saved 10.7 MB)
3) Shorten thread IDs (saved 7.2 MB)
4) Omit categories from JSON (saved 25.7 MB)
Note that category filtering still works, this just prevents us from
writing the categories to the JSON, which was of limited value.
At this point, my 306 MB file is now 255.3 MB, and loads.

Removes the need for strdup with copied strings, paves the way for
more (and richer) payload, and shrinks the average event way down.

This is a stand-alone helper class for writing properly
structured JSON to an SkWStream. It currently solves two
problems (although this CL only uses it in one context):
1) Performance. Writing out JSON this way is about 10x
faster than using JSONCPP. For the large amounts of data
generated by the tracing system, that's a big win.
2) Makes it easy to emit structured JSON from code that's
not fully centralized. We'd like to spit out JSON that
describes a GrContext, GrGpu, GrCaps, etc... Doing that
with simple string manipulation is complex, and spreads
this logic over all those functions. Using JSONCPP adds
yet another (large) third party library dependency (that
we only build into our own tools right now).
This went through several revisions. I originally planned
it as a stateful SkString wrapper, so the user could just
build their JSON as a string. That's O(N^2), though,
because SkString grows by a (small) constant amount. Even
using a better growth strategy still means needing RAM
for all the resulting text, which is usually pointless.
This version has a constant memory cost, so writing huge
amounts of JSON to disk (tracing a long DM run can emit
100's of MBs) doesn't stress resources.

- Bring back some previously deleted macros and helper types.
- Automatically inject base_type information into snapshot events,
to allow simpler tracking of polymorphic object types.
- Fix JSON formatting of pointer values (they were serializing as bool).

This doesn't do anything in the default process-per-task mode, because
those child tasks exit using _exit(), which doesn't trigger the event
tracer destructor to flush.
I don't remember exactly why I exit with _exit(), so I'm going to have
to follow up on that. But written this way as I think I'm at least
initializing the tracing in the right place for each process for the
future.
In threaded (-j -1) and serial (-j 0) modes, everything seems to work
great.
I'm also thinking I might add a tracer like the SkDebugf tracer but
using ok_log(), which handles interlaced logging from concurrent tasks
better than vanilla SkDebugf.
Example:
ninja -C out ok; and out/ok gm 8888 filter:search=fontmgr_bounds trace -j -1

TraceID was unused, remove it.
Simplify casting logic by using the same union helper as the macros.
This fixes a bug that was present in the bool handling - we were
treating the union value as a pointer, so we were dereferencing
random stack memory. Luckily it never crashes, we did get the wrong
values for bools.

Not yet thread safe (so it forces threading off).
Builds JSON on the fly, so overhead is certainly bad.
Plan to fix all of that, but this at least "works".
There is now one tracing flag: 'trace'.
- 'debugf' installs the SkDebugf tracer.
- 'atrace' installs the Android ATrace tracer.
- Any other value is interpreted as a filename, and
produces a JSON file for chrome://tracing.
All three modes work in DM, nanobench, and Viewer.
