Summary
This PR introduces an experimental capability to the ITT API reference collector: in addition to the existing plain-text log, it can now produce a JSON file that opens directly in Perfetto.
Developers who instrument their code with the ITT API can now visualize their traces with zero extra tooling: no profiler, no additional binaries, no conversion step. Point the reference collector at your app, set one environment variable, run, and drag the resulting trace file into Perfetto to see your tasks, regions, frames, counters, and metadata on a timeline.
