Summary:
EventTracer interface now contains two methods:
- spanEvent for events that have duration,
- instant for events that are instant.

[clangd] Tracing improvements
Compose JSON using JSONExpr
Allow attaching metadata to spans (and avoid it if tracing is off)
Attach IDs and responses of JSON RPCs to their spans
The downside is that large responses make the trace viewer sluggish.
We should make our responses less huge :-) Or fix trace viewer.

Summary:
This lets you visualize clangd's activity on different threads over time,
and understand critical paths of requests and object lifetimes.
The data produced can be visualized in Chrome (at chrome://tracing), or
in a standalone copy of catapult (http://github.com/catapult-project/catapult)
This patch consists of:
- a command line flag "-trace" that causes clangd to emit JSON trace data
- an API (in Trace.h) allowing clangd code to easily add events to the stream
- several initial uses of this API to capture JSON-RPC requests, builds, logs
Example result: https://photos.app.goo.gl/12L9swaz5REGQ1rm1
Caveats:
- JSON serialization is ad-hoc (isn't it everywhere?) so the API is
limited to naming events rather than attaching arbitrary metadata.
I'd like to fix this (I think we could use a JSON-object abstraction).
- The recording is very naive: events are written immediately by
locking a mutex. Contention on the mutex might disturb performance.
- For now it just traces instants or spans on the current thread.
There are other things that make sense to show (cross-thread flows,
non-thread resources such as ASTs). But we have to start somewhere.
