runtime: add traceallocfree GODEBUG for alloc/free events in traces

This change adds expensive alloc/free events to traces, guarded by a
GODEBUG that can be set at run time by mutating the GODEBUG environment
variable. This supersedes the alloc/free trace deleted in a previous CL.

There are two parts to this CL.

The first part is adding a mechanism for exposing experimental events
through the tracer and trace parser. This boils down to a new
ExperimentalEvent event type in the parser API which simply reveals the
raw event data for the event. Each experimental event can also be
associated with "experimental data" which is associated with a
particular generation. This experimental data is just exposed as a bag
of bytes that supplements the experimental events.

In the runtime, this CL organizes experimental events by experiment.
An experiment is defined by a set of experimental events and a single
special batch type. Batches of this special type are exposed through the
parser's API as the aforementioned "experimental data".

The second part of this CL is defining the AllocFree experiment, which
defines 9 new experimental events covering heap object alloc/frees, span
alloc/frees, and goroutine stack alloc/frees. It also generates special
batches that contain a type table: a mapping of IDs to type information.
