1758099 - Add tid of the origin thread to IPC markers if they are sent from another thread to the main thread

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

After Bug 1755965 and Bug 1709104, we are going to have the missing IPC markers since we will be sending the markers to the main thread if their thread is not being profiled. But this could be potentially confusing for some people when they are looking at the main thread. That's why we should add a new field to the IPCMarker type called originTid and put the tid of the origin thread for these cases. With this, we will have a way to tell if this marker is being sent from another thread or not and we can show this information to our users as well.
