Currently the Gecko Profiler defines a moderate amount of stuff when
MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER is undefined. It also #includes various headers, including
JS ones. This is making it difficult to separate Gecko's media stack for
inclusion in Servo.
This patch greatly simplifies how things are exposed. The starting point is:
- GeckoProfiler.h can be #included unconditionally;
- everything else from the profiler must be guarded by MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER.
In practice this introduces way too many #ifdefs, so the patch loosens it by
adding no-op macros for a number of the most common operations.
The net result is that #ifdefs and macros are used a bit more, but almost
nothing is exposed in non-MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER builds (including
ProfilerMarkerPayload.h and GeckoProfiler.h), and understanding what is exposed
is much simpler than before.
Note also that in BHR, ThreadStackHelper is now entirely absent in
non-MOZ_GECKO_PROFILER builds.
HangAnnotations was very complex, required a separate allocation, and used this
unfortunate virtual interface implementation which made it harder to do
interesting things with it (such as serialize it over IPC).
This new implementation is much simpler and more concrete, making
HangAnnotations simply be a nsTArray<Annotation>. This also simplifies some of
the IPC code which was added in part 7.

MozStackWalk() is different on Windows to the other platforms. It has two extra
arguments, which can be used to walk the stack of a different thread.
This patch makes those differences clearer. Instead of having a single function
and forbidding those two arguments on non-Windows, it removes those arguments
from MozStackWalk, and splits off MozStackWalkThread() which retains them. This
also allows those arguments to have more appropriate types (HANDLE instead of
uintptr_t; CONTEXT* instead of than void*) and names (aContext instead of
aPlatformData).
The patch also removes unnecessary reinterpret_casts for the aClosure argument
at a couple of MozStackWalk() callsites.
This patch gives some structure and order to the profiler's API.
It also renames AutoProfilerRegister as AutoProfilerRegisterThread, to match
profiler_register_thread().
In TSF mode, application should retrieve messages with ITfMessagePump::GetMessage() or ITfMessagePump::PeekMessage() since TSF/TIP may handle the message before or after the host application handles it.
This patch rewrites the API users with WinUtils::(Get|Peek)Message() which use ITfMessagePump if it's available.

TimeStamp::ProcessCreations()'s aIsInconsistent outparam is ignored by the
majority of its caller. This patch makes it optional. Notably, this makes
ProcessCreation() easier to use in a constructor's initializer list.
NS_SetCurrentThreadName() is added as an alternative to PR_SetCurrentThreadName()
inside libxul. The thread names are collected in the form of crash annotation to
be processed on socorro.

As far as I can tell, this covers all the remaining threads which we start
using PR_CreateThread, except the ones that are created inside NSPR or NSS,
and except for the Shutdown Watchdog thread in nsTerminator.cpp and the
CacheIO thread. The Shutdown Watchdog thread stays alive past leak detection
during shutdown (by design), so we'd report leaks if we profiled it. The
CacheIO thread seems to stay alive past shutdown leak detection sometimes as
well.
This adds a AutoProfilerRegister stack class for easy registering and
unregistering. There are a few places where we still call
profiler_register_thread() and profiler_unregister_thread() manually, either
because registration happens conditionally, or because there is a variable that
gets put on the stack before the AutoProfilerRegister (e.g. a dynamically
generated thread name). AutoProfilerRegister needs to be the first object on
the stack because it uses its own `this` pointer as the stack top address.

Previously we were only logging if we accumulated 50ms of lag. Start logging
all lag so we can use this measure to compare smaller changes in UI
responsiveness.
