src: report idle time correctly

With this change, the V8 profiler will attribute any time between prepare and check cycles, except any entrances to InternalCallbackScope, to be "idle" time. All callbacks, microtasks, and timers will be marked as not idle. The one exception is native modules which don't use the MakeCallback helper, but those are already broken anyway for async context tracking so we should just encourage broken modules to be fixed.
