I'm planning to use it in DevTools heap profiler. It is a common scenario in debugging memory leaks to enforce GC, then perform an operation, then enforce GC again to check for non-collected (that is, leaked) objects. Using the existing GC extension isn't possible because it doesn't exposed in the normal operation mode of Chromium.

I found two causes of flakinness:
- SIGPROF signal isn't delivered to a process;
- Profiler thread (the one that retrieves tick events from
the queue and writes to log) doesn't get a CPU;
Both are fixed.
The script from bug description with run count increased to 200 runs without any test failures.
OS X and Windows are unaffected because they don't use signals mechanism.

The goal of this change is to allow longer profiling sessions and preserve memory when profiler isn't started. The buffer starts with 64K and grows until it reaches the upper limit, which is currently set to 50MB --- according to my evaluations, this is enough for at least 20 minutes of GMail profiling. As we're planning to introduce compression for the profiler log, this time boundary will be significantly increased soon.
To make possible unit testing of the new component, I've factored out Logger's utility classes into a separate source file: log-utils.h/cc. Log and LogMessageBuilder are moved there from log.cc without any semantical changes.

This is intended to be used with Chromium. When in resource-saving mode, profiler doesn't consume any resources (sampler and logging is off) until resumed. Then again, when profiler is paused, sampling and logging are turned off.
Tested under Linux and Windows. Also have done preliminary testing with Chromium.

If was failing because with snapshot the range between minimum and maximum addresses of heap objects is very large (close to 0xf0000000). To fix this I rewrote handling of address maps in the test.
Submitting with TBR because of late time. I think, we'll need to revisit this change tomorrow.

The goal is to make possible having --prof flag always enabled in Chromium. Currently we can't do this because --prof causes compiler and gc to log code creations / moves / deletes which aren't needed until we start profiling. With LogCompiledFunctions it will be possible not to log anything until we start profiling. When started, the current map of compiled functions will be logged and compiler / gc logging will be enabled to update current state. When profling is stopped, logging will be turned off again.
Funny that testing code is actually much longer and complex than function code.

This will enable reading profiler log in Chrome. The current implementation of memory buffer is trivial (fixed size buffer, no memory recycling) but enough to start end-to-end DevTools Profiler implementation. Later it will be enhanced.
