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.
