DocShell: implement session history serialization in IPDL.

Not completed.
After starting on this I determined that it required understanding a lot of gnarly DOM internals, and wasn't a good use of my time.

Finish cleaning up and slimming down static atoms.

Implement three improvements to Valgrind profiling tools I use with rustc.

Improve callgrind_annotate output. Some readability improvements.
Use inlined frames in Massif XTree output. Makes stack traces much easier to understand.
Completely overhauled DHAT.
- Improvements made to rustc and Firefox thanks to this: #55167, #55346, #55383, #55384, #55501, #55574, #55777, #55558, #55816.
