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.
