[vm] Buffer writes in TimelineEventFileRecorderBase

Previous implementation allocated individual events and then
executed writes directly - both of these add unnecessary overhead.

Instead allocate and process events in blocks just like other
recorders and buffer writes in a temporary buffer before passing
data to Dart::file_write_callback().

Currently if you write something like this:

    int fib(int n) {
      return Timeline.timeSync('fib', () {
        // typical recursive fib implementation here.
      });
    }

    for (var i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
      fib(10);
    }

and then run it with perfettofile recorder you end up waiting several
seconds before recorder is drained with program spending most time
doing small writes via File::WriteFully.

This is no longer the case after this change.

Dart

An approachable, portable, and productive language for high-quality apps on any platform

Dart is:

  • Approachable: Develop with a strongly typed programming language that is consistent, concise, and offers modern language features like null safety and patterns.

  • Portable: Compile to ARM, x64, or RISC-V machine code for mobile, desktop, and backend. Compile to JavaScript or WebAssembly for the web.

  • Productive: Make changes iteratively: use hot reload to see the result instantly in your running app. Diagnose app issues using DevTools.

Dart's flexible compiler technology lets you run Dart code in different ways, depending on your target platform and goals:

  • Dart Native: For programs targeting devices (mobile, desktop, server, and more), Dart Native includes both a Dart VM with JIT (just-in-time) compilation and an AOT (ahead-of-time) compiler for producing machine code.

  • Dart Web: For programs targeting the web, Dart Web includes both a development time compiler (dartdevc) and a production time compiler (dart2js).
