Brian Vaughn 24f824250f DevTools Profiler: Improve how empty commits are filtered (#17771)
Previously, DevTools filtered empty commits on the backend, while profiling, through the use of a bailout heuristic that React currently happens to use. This approach was brittle and may have exacerbated the long-standing Profiler bug #16446.

This PR removes that heuristic and adds as a post-processing filtering pass instead. This removes the coupling between DevTools and a React internal implementation detail that may change.

I believe DevTools has two choices of criteria for this filtering:
* Filter commits that have no actual duration metadata.
* Filter commits that have no recorded operations (no mutations to the tree, no changed tree base durations).

I chose the first option, filtering by commits that have no reported metadata. It will miss an edge case, e.g. , but we would have nothing meaningful to show in the Profiler for those cases anyway. (This particular edge case is why one of the snapshots changed with this commit.)

The second option, filtering by recorded operations, could potentially miss a more important edge case: where a component *did* render, but its  didn't change. (In that event, there would be no operations to send.)
