Sami Kyostila 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.

V8 JavaScript Engine

V8 is Google's open source JavaScript engine.

V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262.

V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google.

V8 can run standalone, or can be embedded into any C++ application.

V8 Project page: https://v8.dev/docs

Getting the Code

Checkout depot tools, and run

    fetch v8

This will checkout V8 into the directory v8 and fetch all of its dependencies. To stay up to date, run

    git pull origin
    gclient sync

For fetching all branches, add the following into your remote configuration in .git/config:

    fetch = +refs/branch-heads/*:refs/remotes/branch-heads/*
    fetch = +refs/tags/*:refs/tags/*
