Description

It would be nice to add custom parsers to TraceLog.
There is already a TODO for it:
https://github.com/microsoft/perfview/blob/084c4de35943d511c844f40bcbdcaa0dd2c709c3/src/TraceEvent/TraceLog.cs#L912

Research direction

Start at the TODO in src/TraceEvent/TraceLog.cs around line 912 and trace how TraceLog currently selects and invokes parsers. Determine the registration and invocation behavior needed for custom user parsers, then verify that a custom parser can be added and used without breaking existing parsing behavior.
