RFR: 8356027: Print enhanced compilation timings

In Leyden, we have the extended compilation timings printouts with -XX:+PrintCompilation / UL, that are very useful to study compiler dynamics. These timings include:
 1. Time spent before queuing: shows the compilation queue bottlenecks
 2. Time spent in the queue: shows delays caused by queue bottlenecks and compiler load
 3. Time spent actually compiling: shows the per-method compilation costs

We should consider the same kind of printout for mainline. This would also require us to print the compilation task _after_ the compilation, not only before it. This improvement would also obviate any need for `PrintCompilation2` flag, [JDK-8356028](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8356028).

The difference from the output format we ship in Leyden:
 1. This output prints before/after the compilation to maintain old behavior partially. The "before" printout is now prepended with `started` to clearly mark it as such.
 2. The output is raw number in microseconds. In Leyden repo, we have these prepended with characters, like `C0.1`, but that prepending makes it a bit inconvenient with scripts. This PR also does microseconds, instead of fractional milliseconds. This should be enough to capture the wide range of durations.

See the sample `-XX:+PrintCompilation` output in the comments.

Additional testing:
 - [x] Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `compiler`
 - [ ]  Linux x86_64 server fastdebug, `all`
