TracyProfiler: Use rr-safe nopl; rdtsc sequence

Several users have reported masssive slowdowns to rr record/replay
in packages that have the tracy client loaded. The issue turns out
to be an unlucky false positive in an rr heuristic that determines
the patchability of `rdtsc`. In rr master, it is possible to guarantee
patchability by using a specific `nopl; rdtsc` sequence. Add a patch
to tracy to do just that.

+    Use patchable rdtsc sequence to avoid slowdowns under rr
+    
+    We (Julia) ship both support for using tracy to trace julia applications,
+    as well as using `rr` (https://github.com/rr-debugger/rr) for record-replay debugging.
+    After our most recent rebuild of tracy, users have been reporting signfificant performance
+    slowdowns when `rr` recording a session that happens to also load the tracy library
+    (even if tracing is not enabled). Upon further examination, the recompile happened
+    to trigger a protective heuristic that disabled rr's patching of tracy's use of
+    `rdtsc` because an earlier part of the same function happened to look like a
+    conditional branch into the patch region. See https://github.com/rr-debugger/rr/pull/3580
+    for details. To avoid this issue occurring again in future rebuilds of tracy,
+    adjust tracy's `rdtsc` sequence to be `nopl; rdtsc`, which (as of of the
+    linked PR) is a sequence that is guaranteed to bypass this heuristic
+    and not incur the additional overhead when run under rr.
