08b8b39a5d Add simple malloc statistics and metrics
Add some basic statistics for allocated memory based on mallinfo(),
and use that to define two metrics:

 usedAfterOverview: bytes used after the overview is shown once
 leakedAfterOverview: additional bytes used when the overview is
   shown a second time.

98c2247c1b Add a facility for automated performance measurement
We want to be able to summarize the behavior of the shell's
performance in a series of "metrics", like the latency between
clicking on the Activities button and seeing a response.

This patch adds the ability to create a script under perf/
in a special format that automates a series of actions in the
shell, writing events to the performance log, then collects
statistics as the log as replayed and turns them into a set
of metrics.

The script is then executed by running as gnome-shell
--perf=<script>.

The 'core' script which is added here will be the primary
performance measurement script that we use for shell performance
regression testing; right now it has a couple of placeholder
metrics.
