+ * Define a mechanism to allow "stopwatch" timers.
+ *
+ * Timers can be used to measure "interesting" activity that does not
+ * fit the "region" model, such as code called from many different
+ * regions (like zlib) and/or where data for individual calls are not
+ * interesting or are too numerous to be efficiently logged.
+ *
+ * Timer values are accumulated during program execution and emitted
+ * to the Trace2 logs at program exit.
+ *
+ * To make this model efficient, we define a compile-time fixed set of
+ * timers and timer ids using a "timer block" array in thread-local
+ * storage.  This gives us constant time access to each timer within
+ * each thread, since we want start/stop operations to be as fast as
+ * possible.  This lets us avoid the complexities of dynamically
+ * allocating a timer on the first use by a thread and/or possibly
+ * sharing that timer definition with other concurrent threads.
+ * However, this does require that we define time the set of timers at
+ * compile time.
+ *
+ * Each thread uses the timer block in its thread-local storage to
+ * compute partial sums for each timer (without locking).  When a
+ * thread exits, those partial sums are (under lock) added to the
+ * global final sum.
+ *
+ * Using this "timer block" model costs ~48 bytes per timer per thread
+ * (we have about six uint64 fields per timer).  This does increase
+ * the size of the thread-local storage block, but it is allocated (at
+ * thread create time) and not on the thread stack, so I'm not worried
+ * about the size.
+ *
+ * Partial sums for each timer are optionally emitted when a thread
+ * exits.
+ *
+ * Final sums for each timer are emitted between the "exit" and
+ * "atexit" events.
+ *
+ * A parallel "timer metadata" table contains the "category" and "name"
+ * fields for each timer.  This eliminates the need to include those
+ * args in the various timer APIs.
