perf: don't use tracing overeager during dev (#17183)

* perf: don't use tracing overeager during dev

#17176 is a case where many sources are created and then written to (due to Svelte 4 prop mechanics), and our tracing kicked in eagerly. That combined with the excessive depth of the related stack traces slowed things down tremendously.

The fix is simple: Don't record stack traces until we've seen this source get updated for a couple of times. Additionally we now delete the `updates` map after a flush. Previously it was just an ever-growing stack trace map.
