Prototype profiler object serialization using JSON

[yungyuc]

This issue derives from #302.

Develop a helper class or some helper classes to serialize the CallProfile object used for recording the profile data (in memory). Remarks:

1. The helper class(es) should use proper encapsulation.
2. The serialized data should be testable in Python. It may also be tested in C++ (google-test) but the C++ tests are not mandatory.
3. The serialized JSON string should be human readable. The readability should be easy and use decent indentation.

There should be a capability to deserialize the data back to CallProfile. We may use this issue to track the deserialization, or use a different issue.

• Make more member data for serialization. (See Prototype profiler object serialization using JSON #343 (comment))
• Implement deserializer. (See Prototype profiler object serialization using JSON #343 (comment))

@ThreeMonth03 is working on this issue with PR #323.

[yungyuc]

@ThreeMonth03 plans to make the next review for PR #323 ready by 5th June.

#323 is merged. We should start to exercise the data for analyzing performance to find out how useful it is and how to improve the design (of the profiler and the serialization).

@ThreeMonth03 Since #372 and #377, the general JSON parser, is merged, could you revise CallProfiler to use the new SerializableItem. For more details and examples, you can check the #372 and #377.

Thank's for your contribution, I will trace the implementation and revise the CallProfiler.

@ThreeMonth03 @q40603 @tigercosmos do we have anything needed for this issue or need any further PR?

[ThreeMonth03]

Yes, I will. I will make a pr after issue382

[yungyuc]

@ThreeMonth03 Do we have any work left for this issue?

I think I should expose more class members for serializer and implement the deserializer, but I'm writing the notes for the newcomers.

No problem. I added the two tasks in the issue description. This issue remains open to track them.
