[trace][intelpt] Add task timer classes
I'm adding two new classes that can be used to measure the duration of long tasks as process and thread level, e.g. decoding, fetching data from lldb-server, etc. In this first patch, I'm using it to measure the time it takes to decode each thread, which is printed out with the `dump info` command. In a later patch I'll start adding process-level tasks and I might move these classes to the upper Trace level, instead of having them in the intel-pt plugin. I might need to do that anyway in the future when we have to measure HTR. For now, I want to keep the impact of this change minimal. With it, I was able to generate the following info of a very big trace: ``` (lldb) thread trace dump info Trace technology: intel-pt thread #1: tid = 616081 Total number of instructions: 9729366 Memory usage: Raw trace size: 1024 KiB Total approximate memory usage (excluding raw trace): 123517.34 KiB Average memory usage per instruction (excluding raw trace): 13.00 bytes Timing: Decoding instructions: 1.62s Errors: Number of TSC decoding errors: 0 ``` As seen above, it took 1.62 seconds to decode 9.7M instructions. This is great news, as we don't need to do any optimization work in this area. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D123357
