> Greetings,

> This is a rewrite of the Compiler Memory Statistic. The primary new feature is the capability to track allocations by C2 phases. This will allow for a much faster, more thorough analysis of footprint issues. 
> 
> Tracking Arena memory movement is not trivial since one needs to follow the ebb and flow of allocations over nested C2 phases. A phase typically allocates more than it releases, accruing new nodes and resource area. A phase can also release more than allocated when Arenas carried over from other phases go out of scope in this phase. Finally, it can have high temporary peaks that vanish before the phase ends.

> The patch implements per-phase tracking by instrumenting the `TracePhase` stack object (thanks to @rwestrel for this idea).

> The nice thing with this technique is that it also allows for quick analysis of a suspected hot spot (eg, the inside of a loop): drop a TracePhase in there with a speaking name, and you can see the allocations inside that phase.
