tracing: Guard against task runner re-entrancy

Disable data source trace points on the calling thread while a task is
being posted by the tracing muxer. This avoids a situation where the
user-provided platform task runner implementation tries to enter a trace
point under the hood, causing unexpected re-entrancy to the muxer or
other parts of the tracing library.

An example re-entrancy chain in Chrome looks like this:

1. Start a tracing session through the consumer interface.
2. ConsumerEndpointImpl::AddObservableEvents
3. base::tracing::PerfettoTaskRunner::PostTask
4. base::ScopedDeferTaskPosting::PostOrDefer
5. base::TaskAnnotator::WillQueueTask (We hit a trace event here, but
   it's not currently filtered out since we're not a in a trace event
   yet.)
6. perfetto::internal::TracingMuxerImpl::CreateTraceWriter
7. perfetto::SharedMemoryArbiterImpl::CreateTraceWriter
8. base::tracing::PerfettoTaskRunner::PostTask
==> Crash because base::DeferredSequencedTaskRunner isn't re-entrant.

Perfetto - System profiling, app tracing and trace analysis

Perfetto is a production-grade open-source stack for performance instrumentation and trace analysis. It offers services and libraries and for recording system-level and app-level traces, native + java heap profiling, a library for analyzing traces using SQL and a web-based UI to visualize and explore multi-GB traces.

See https://perfetto.dev/docs or the /docs/ directory for documentation.
