layout: Remove the obsolete layout tracing functionality (#35001)

There were two kinds of layout tracing controlled by the same debugging
option:

 - modern layout: Functionality that dumped a JSON serialization of the
   layout tree before and after layout.
 - legacy layout: A scope based tracing that reported the process of
   layout in a structured way.

I don't think anyone working on layout is using either of these two
features. For modern layout requiring data structure to implement
`serde` serialization is incredibly inconvenient and also generates a
lot of extra code.

We also have a more modern tracing functionality based on perfetto that
we have started to use for layout and IMO it's actually being used and
more robust.
