9dbab9bbdb [tracing] Migrate tracing to Perfetto track events
This patch replaces V8's tracing implementation (i.e., the TRACE_EVENT
macros) with the track event base implementation from Perfetto. The
advantages of doing this are:

1) This allows us to remove most tracing-related backend code from V8.

2) V8 can start writing strongly typed trace event arguments, which
   are more compact, easier to process and more extensible than legacy
   JSON-based trace arguments.

For the time being, we still support the old trace macros when V8 is
embedded into Chrome and other embedders.
