introduce ThreadTaskRunner and use it in heapprofd's UnwindingWorker

As discussed last week, proposing a wrapper object that owns a UnixTaskRunner & its task thread.

For the review, please focus on the following:
* that the writeup of the thread-checking considerations in unix_task_runner.h is accurate
* that the thread_task_runner implementation itself is sane
* that its use in heapprofd is reasonable

I have no strong opinions on the following, and simply chose one option for the initial review:
* Naming of the new utility - ThreadUnixTaskRunner would more accurately reflect that this isn't
  cross-platform?
* Whether it belongs in base::, or should be in profiling::memory:: for now.
  We can slot this into consumer_api.cc (which does a very similar handshake) in a followup cl,
  so I thought base:: might be a reasonable place.

Note: with this change, heapprofd works in debug builds e2e afaict.
