Teach StartupAnalyzer to handle threads with no slices

Sometimes we end up with threads that have no slices to them, which was crashing
the startup analyzer. This change uses POSITIVE_INFINITY as the start time for
threads with no slices.

This change also includes a regression test that was generated by reducing a
trace that exercised this bug. Further regression tests should now be easier to
add.

Trebuchet

Trebuchet is a Kotlin library for parsing and analyzing Android trace files generated by the atrace or systrace commands. This is not an officially supported Google product.

Library

The code for the Trebuchet library can be found in the core/ directory.

Bundled Programs

Trebuchet comes bundled with several programs for analyzing one or more trace files.

Startup Analyzer

The Startup Analyzer program takes a trace file, detects any startup events that occurred during the traced time period, and prints information about the events. If Trebuchet is built using the Android build system, there will be a StartupAnalyzerKt program placed into a directory that is a member of the PATH system variable. If you wish to use Gradle, you can use the startup-analyzer.sh script located in the scripts/ directory.

Startup Summarizer

The Startup Summarizer program takes a set of trace files, detects startup events in each file, and computes average and standard deviation for startup stats, broken down by program name, compiler filter, and cache status. If Trebuchet is built using the Android build system, there will be a StartupSummarizerKt program placed into a directory that is a member of the PATH system variable. If you wish to use Gradle, you can use the startup-summarizer.sh script located in the scripts/ directory.

Helper Scripts

The scripts/ directory contains a shell script called run-startup.sh, which will start a trace, launch an activity given a package name and an activity name, transfer the trace file to the host machine, and run the StartupAnalyzer.
