Fix .ninja parse time reported by `-d stats`.

Because Parser::Load() is called recursively during Ninja
manifest parsing, the call to METRIC_RECORD() in this function
used to over-count the total parsing time (for example, by a
factor of 2 for the Fuchsia build).

This fixes the problem by introducing a new RECORD_METRIC_IF()
macro, which only records anything if a given condition is true.
This ensures that metric collection only starts and stops with
the outer Parser::Load() call, and none of its recursive
sub-calls.

The effect on the output of `-d stats`is, for a Fuchsia build
plan where `ninja -d stats nothing` takes a bit more than 5s:

BEFORE:
  metric                  count   avg (us)        total (ms)
  .ninja parse            27304   372.6           10172.2

AFTER:
  metric                  count   avg (us)        total (ms)
  .ninja parse            1       4165297.0       4165.3

Note that |count| went to 1, since there is only one top-level
Parser::Load() operation in this build. It would be more if
dyndeps files were loaded, which does not happen in this
build plan.

Ninja

Ninja is a small build system with a focus on speed. https://ninja-build.org/

See the manual or doc/manual.asciidoc included in the distribution for background and more details.

Binaries for Linux, Mac and Windows are available on GitHub. Run ./ninja -h for Ninja help.

Installation is not necessary because the only required file is the resulting ninja binary. However, to enable features like Bash completion and Emacs and Vim editing modes, some files in misc/ must be copied to appropriate locations.

If you're interested in making changes to Ninja, read CONTRIBUTING.md first.

Building Ninja itself

You can either build Ninja via the custom generator script written in Python or via CMake. For more details see the wiki.

Python

./configure.py --bootstrap

This will generate the ninja binary and a build.ninja file you can now use to build Ninja with itself.

CMake

cmake -Bbuild-cmake
cmake --build build-cmake

The ninja binary will now be inside the build-cmake directory (you can choose any other name you like).

To run the unit tests:

./build-cmake/ninja_test
