What it does
The Perfetto trace format is being used today for many profiling and tracing tools, such as rocprofv3 for AMD GPUs profiling and tracing, Android traces, and Chrome traces.
This PR adds Protobuf (Perfetto format precisely) support for TraceCompass to visualize traces that can be visualized using Perfetto UI.
How to test
Provided binary trace output file that will be used in the tests to read that trace and ensure we can analyze it correctly.
Follow-ups
More work must be done to make it efficient and optimized for reading protobuf traces. Also, more work needs to be done to add more visualization that can match the needs of the traces that use the Perfetto format. Also, more work is required on testing and validation.
