Once bug 1030389 lands, it needs to be hooked up to the TableTicker so we can actually expose the optimization info.

Interface
---------

I plan to add an additional property 'ionOpts' (in addition to 'location', 'line', and 'category') to each frame.

This property will be initially something like:

  ionOpts :: [ types, attempts ]

  types :: type | type, types
  type :: { site: str, mirType: int }

  attempts :: attempt | attempt, attempts
  attempt :: { strategy: str, outcome: int }

Currently I plan to add at least constructor:lineno info to the 'type' production above, for exposing TypeObjects.

Implementation
--------------

Both the types and attempts lists defined above are already stored in a native code-addressed side table in JS land. That is, there's a side table mapping some address to a vector.

To save precious circular buffer space, I plan to add a new ProfileEntry tag 'j' that stores an index into this side table.

Symbolication (i.e., reading out the types and attempts) is then done during JSON streaming time. This seems pretty threadsafe to me, this side table isn't a fancy data structure and isn't self-modifying during reads.
Depends on: 1030389
So, as I tried to hook up this stuff to the profiler, I realized I didn't
design the internals with public JSAPI in mind.

This refactors some stuff, makes the enums public, and reworks the public API.

Rework optimization tracking JSAPI to be more usable from the profiler.

Cancelling review. I'm still iterating.

Please add the name/payload description in parentheses for what the enum type should be. I'm not sure what 'E' stands for.

Nice. This will have a trivial runtime overhead. I'm assuming the js code also adds minimal runtime overhead? If not consider making it an optional feature. Otherwise this is great!

For this type, could you document what the expected protocol is for sequences of calls to "operator()" vs "readType" that the interface can expect?

Ew.  Give this a named type Addendum or something.

Renamed 'E' to 'J' for JIT code address for clarity.

This will be landed disabled at the JS level. That is, I will land this but no
JS frames will have an optimization info index.
