Add Performance Profiling and Analysis Tools

[jongalloway]

Description

Integrate with .NET diagnostic tools for performance profiling and analysis.

Motivation

Performance optimization requires tooling:

• Startup time analysis
• Memory allocation tracking
• CPU profiling
• GC pressure analysis

Proposed Tools

New MCP Tools

• dotnet_profile_startup

  • Measure application startup time
  • Identify slow initialization

• dotnet_trace_analyze

  • Parse dotnet-trace files
  • Extract performance insights

• dotnet_memory_analyze

• Memory allocation analysis

  • Heap snapshots
  • GC behavior

• dotnet_counters_monitor

  • Real-time performance counters

• CPU, memory, GC metrics

Implementation Notes

• Wrap dotnet-trace, dotnet-counters, dotnet-dump
• Parse trace files
• Provide actionable insights
• Integration with BenchmarkDotNet

Success Criteria

• Basic profiling tools
• Trace file parsing
• Performance insights
• Integration with diagnostic tools
• Tests
• Documentation
