The eras profiling mode is useful for tracking the life-time of
closures. When a closure is written, the current era is recorded in the
profiling header. This records the era in which the closure was created.

* Enable with -he
* User mode: Use functions in GHC.Profiling.Eras to modify the era
* Automatically: --automatic-era-increment, increases the user era on major
  collections
* The first era is era 1
* -he<era> can be used with other profiling modes to select a specific
  era

If you just want to record the era but not to perform heap profiling you
can use `-he --no-automatic-heap-samples`.

Previously many of the `post*` implementations would first compute the
length of the event's strings in order to determine the event length.
Later we would then end up computing the length yet again in
`postString`. Now we instead pass the string length to `postStringLen`,
avoiding the repeated work.

We were missing the extra_comma from the calculation of the size of the
payload of postIPE. This was causing assertion failures when the event
would overflow the buffer by one byte, as ensureRoomForVariable event
would report there was enough space for `n` bytes but then we would
write `n + 1` bytes into the buffer.
