Record thread relationships

[emilk]

I'd like to be able to record the relationship between a "parent" thread and the tasks it spawns. Consider this:

use rayon::prelude::*;

fn do_many_jobs(jobs: &[Jobs]) -> Vec<Output> {
    puffin::profile_scope!("do_many_jobs")!;
    jobs.par_iter().map(|job| {
        puffin::profile_scope!("do_job");
        do_job(job);
    }).collect()
}

This will show up as one thread with do_many_jobs, and then maybe four worker threads doing do_job. In the flamegrpah however, there is no relationship behind them. It would be great if each do_job scope had an arrow pointing to it from the do_many_jobs scope, showing their connection.

We could maybe accomplish this with something like

use rayon::prelude::*;

fn do_many_jobs(jobs: &[Jobs]) -> Vec<Output> {
    puffin::profile_scope!("do_many_jobs")!;
    let parent_thread_id = puffin::thread_id();
    jobs.par_iter().map(move |job| {
        puffin::profile_scope!("do_job", parent=parent_thread_id);
        do_job(job);
    }).collect()
}

In the recording stream, these thread relationships would be rare, but would require some additional dynamic data. For instance, one extra control-byte which, if some bit is set in it, would be followed by a thread id.
We could use another bit in the same control-byte to indicate if there is any dynamic string, saving us a byte again in common cases.

The thread-id could be the u64 returned by std::thread::current().id().as_u64.
