Minimal tool to convert xray traces to Chrome's Trace Event Format.
Summary:
Make use of Chrome Trace Event format's Duration events and stack frame dict to
produce Json files that chrome://tracing can visualize from xray function call
traces. Trace Event format is more robust and has several features like
argument logging, function categorization, multi process traces, etc. that we
can add as needed. Duration events cover an important base case.
Part of this change is rearranging the code so that the TrieNode data structure
can be used from multiple tools and can carry parameterized baggage on the
nodes. I put the actual behavior changes in llvm-xray convert exclusively.
Exploring the trace of instrumented llc was pretty nifty if overwhelming.
I can envision this being very useful for analyzing contention scenarios or
tuning parameters like batch sizes in a producer consumer queue. For more
targeted traces likemthis, let's talk about how we want to approach trace
pruning.

Summary:
In this change we move the definition of the log reading routines from
the tools directory in LLVM to {include/llvm,lib}/XRay. We improve the
documentation a little bit for the publicly accessible headers, and
adjust the top-matter. This also leads to some refactoring and cleanup
in the tooling code.
In particular, we do the following:
- Rename the class from LogReader to Trace, as it better represents
the logical set of records as opposed to a log.
- Use file type detection instead of asking the user to say what
format the input file is. This allows us to keep the interface
simple and encapsulate the logic of loading the data appropriately.
In future changes we increase the API surface and write dedicated unit
tests for the XRay library.
Depends on D24376.

This is the second part of a multi-part change to define additional
subcommands to the `llvm-xray` tool.
This change defines a conversion subcommand to take XRay log files, and
turns them from one format to another (binary or YAML). This currently
only supports the first version of the log file format, defined in the
compiler-rt runtime.
Depends on D21987.
