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

py-spy record  --format chrometrace --nonblocking --output ~/test-pyspy.json.gz --subprocesses -- torchx run -s local_cwd dist.ddp -j2x2 -m hi

Test in both Perfetto and Chrome trace viewer
