add classes trace_analyzer::Query and TraceAnalyzer to make it easy to search through trace data

+
+// Use trace_analyzer::Query and trace_analyzer::TraceAnalyzer to search for
+// specific trace events that were generated by the trace_event.h API.
+//
+// Basic procedure:
+// - Get trace events JSON string from base::debug::TraceLog.
+// - Create TraceAnalyzer with JSON string.
+// - Call TraceAnalyzer::AssociateBeginEndEvents (optional).
+// - Call TraceAnalyzer::AssociateEvents (zero or more times).
+// - Call TraceAnalyzer::FindEvents with queries to find specific events.
+//
+// A Query is a boolean expression tree that evaluates to true or false for a
+// given trace event. Queries can be combined into a tree using boolean,
+// arithmetic and comparison operators that refer to data of an individual trace
+// event.
+//
+// The events are returned as trace_analyzer::TraceEvent objects.
+// TraceEvent contains a single trace event's data, as well as a pointer to
+// a related trace event. The related trace event is typically the matching end
+// of a begin event or the matching begin of an end event.
+//
+// The following examples use this basic setup code to construct TraceAnalyzer
+// with the json trace string retrieved from TraceLog and construct an event
+// vector for retrieving events:
+//
+// TraceAnalyzer analyzer(json_events);
+// TraceEventVector events;
+//
+// During construction, TraceAnalyzer::SetDefaultAssociations is called to
+// associate all matching begin/end pairs similar to how they are shown in
+// about:tracing.
+//
+// EXAMPLE 1: Find events named "my_event".
+//
+// analyzer.FindEvents(Query(EVENT_NAME) == "my_event", &events);
+//
+// EXAMPLE 2: Find begin events named "my_event" with duration > 1 second.
+//
+// Query q = (Query(EVENT_NAME) == "my_event" &&
+//            Query(EVENT_PHASE) == TRACE_EVENT_PHASE_BEGIN &&
+//            Query(EVENT_DURATION) > 1000000.0);
+// analyzer.FindEvents(q, &events);
+//
+// EXAMPLE 3: Associating event pairs across threads.
+//
+// If the test needs to analyze something that starts and ends on different
+// threads, the test needs to use INSTANT events. The typical procedure is to
+// specify the same unique ID as a TRACE_EVENT argument on both the start and
+// finish INSTANT events. Then use the following procedure to associate those
+// events.
+//
+// Step 1: instrument code with custom begin/end trace events.
+//   [Thread 1 tracing code]
+//   TRACE_EVENT_INSTANT1("test_latency", "timing1_begin", "id", 3);
+//   [Thread 2 tracing code]
+//   TRACE_EVENT_INSTANT1("test_latency", "timing1_end", "id", 3);
+//
+// Step 2: associate these custom begin/end pairs.
+//   Query begin(Query(EVENT_NAME) == "timing1_begin");
+//   Query end(Query(EVENT_NAME) == "timing1_end");
+//   Query match(Query(EVENT_ARG, "id") == Query(OTHER_ARG, "id"));
+//   analyzer.AssociateEvents(begin, end, match);
+//
+// Step 3: search for "timing1_begin" events with existing other event.
+//   Query q = (Query(EVENT_NAME) == "timing1_begin" && Query(EVENT_HAS_OTHER));
+//   analyzer.FindEvents(q, &events);
+//
+// Step 4: analyze events, such as checking durations.
+//   for (size_t i = 0; i < events.size(); ++i) {
+//     double duration;
+//     EXPECT_TRUE(events[i].GetDuration(&duration));
+//     EXPECT_LT(duration, 1000000.0/60.0); // expect less than 1/60 second.
+//   }

Is there any code that uses it? What's the plan here?

Ooops, are you really sure you want that? I think this is strongly discouraged.
