Riley Dulin d8b0e9d9ab Add HeapProfiler.lastSeenObjectId and HeapProfiler.heapStatsUpdate to inspector
Summary:
When taking a heap timeline, Hermes wasn't showing any data until the timeline
was written to disk and then reloaded.

Turns out we were missing support for two events:
* `HeapProfiler.lastSeenObjectId`: This event reports the most recently
allocated object ID. Used to know when objects were allocated in the
timeline.
* `HeapProfiler.heapStatsUpdate`: Report how many objects and bytes
exist for a "time fragment", represented by a fragment index. Later updates
to the same index can decrease the amount of live memory, which show up
as grey spikes instead of blue spikes

Previously, we only supported these by writing out to a file, and they didn't work
with a "live" profiling view. To fix this, I changed the periodic sampling thread
to instead be a periodic flush of a sample every few allocations. The performance
impact is tucked away only when profiling is turned on, and it's very non-invasive to
the rest of the GC. The flush calls a callback with the relevant information if the
inspector is on, and the inspector sends a message back to the browser.
