Timer: Track name and description.
The previously used "names" are rather descriptions (they use multiple words and contain spaces), use short programming language identifier like strings for the "names" which should be used when exporting to machine parseable formats. Also removed a unused TimerGroup from Hexxagon. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D25583 llvm-svn: 287369
