Summary: 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. Upstream PR: benfred#681 Test Plan: Launch a process that uses subprocesses and threads ``` buck2 run fbsource//third-party/py-spy:py-spy -- record --format chrometrace --nonblocking --output ~/test-pyspy.json.gz --subprocesses -- torchx run -s local_cwd dist.ddp -j2x2 -m hi ``` {F1866175191} Perfetto: {F1866171613} Chrome Tracing: {F1866174988} Reviewers: agallagher, kunalb, egl Reviewed By: kunalb, egl Differential Revision: https://phabricator.intern.facebook.com/D62666434

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
Test in both Perfetto and Chrome trace viewer
