Reland "[tracing] Align --trace-startup and --enable-tracing."

This is a reland of 0823dbae

Original change's description:
> [tracing] Align --trace-startup and --enable-tracing.
>
> Use StartupTracingController both for --trace-startup (primary use case:
> browser startup perf profiling) and --enable-tracing (primary use case:
> browser test tracing).
>
> Due to historical reasons both flags are kept, but now their behaviour
> is mostly the same. If both are present, --trace-startup takes
> precedence.
>
> Differences:
> - `trace-startup` finishes after 5 seconds by default, while `enable-tracing`
>   continues until the browser is closed. (--trace-startup-duration overrides
>   both).
> - `trace-startup-file` always treats the path as absolute, while if
>   `enable-tracing-output` ends with /, it uses the provided value as the
>   directory and generates the base name based on the current runtime
>   metadata.
