Reduce the number of dependencies about inferno HOT 6 OPEN

#145, #146, and #147 have reduced dependencies further and made more of them optional.

$ cargo tree --no-indent | sed 's/ (\*)//' | sort -u | wc -l
107
$ cargo tree --no-indent --no-default-features | sed 's/ (\*)//' | sort -u | wc -l
76

Now we're down to 109 dependencies after #144.

$ cargo tree --no-indent | sed 's/ (\*)//' | sort -u | wc -l
109

Hey @jonhoo I tried building the project locally without each one of the non dev deps but the project would only build with all of them. What is the path you were thinking for this?

When I try to cargo build the project locally I get:

 --> src/collapse/perf.rs:4:5
  |
4 | use symbolic_demangle::demangle;
  |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ use of undeclared type or module `symbolic_demangle`

error[E0433]: failed to resolve: use of undeclared type or module `symbolic_demangle`

Ah, sorry, to be clear, it's not as though we currently list unused dependencies, but rather I would like to see us re-write parts of the code so that we can remove dependencies. I'm not sure what the issue you are pointing to with symbolic_demangle is -- it compiles fine for me locally?

from inferno.

I think we should be able to remove symbolic_demangle as a dependency.

#133 and #134 added to our collapsers the ability to fix partially demangled Rust symbols with no external dependencies. I originally implemented #132 to work around the same problem, but it required you to pass --no-demangle to perf script, or -xmangled to dtrace since symbolic_demangle doesn't work when the symbols are partially demangled. Now that we are able to take the mostly demangled symbols the profiling tools give us and fix them up from there, the demangle option on the collapsers seems to be unnecessary.

What do you think?
