This modifies py-spy to use a sequential thread ID counter for each event and instead log a thread_name metadata field that includes the full thread ID as well as the thread name.
Perfetto doesn't support u64 thread ids so we lose thread information and the py-spy chrometrace format doesn't include thread names.
See google/perfetto#886 for more details
Test plan:
Run on a program that launches multiple processes and threads
Test in both Perfetto and Chrome trace viewer
