Damien Carver d2b53bc959 Bug 2033816 - Part 1: Remove the CPU Utilization checkbox and "cpu" feature references from the profiler frontend and performance test harnesses. r=canova,profiler-reviewers,android-reviewers,perftest-reviewers,mozperftest-reviewers,taskgraph-reviewers,releng-reviewers,ahal,kshampur,tthibaud
Thread CPU utilization will always be gathered after Part 2, making the "cpu"
(CPUUtilization) feature redundant. Stop requesting it everywhere it is
currently listed: the about:profiling settings checkbox list, all desktop and
Fenix presets, the devtools perf actor's default feature set, and the
performance test harnesses (mozperftest, raptor, talos, the taskcluster
gecko_profile action, and the Fenix startup-profiling helper). Regenerate the
affected perfdocs.

Talos is a python performance testing framework that is usable on Windows,
Mac and Linux. Talos is our versatile performance testing framework we
use at Mozilla. It was created to serve as a test runner for the existing
performance tests that Mozilla was running back in 2007 as well as providing
an extensible framework for new tests as they were created.

So, why Talos? Talos is the bronze automaton of Greek myth. Talos protected
the island of Crete, throwing giant boulders at unwary seamen. He's
also purported to have heated himself glowing hot and then embraced his
enemies. Basically, he was awesome.
