 print_report() 
 Print out report of time spent on addons initialization parts.
Reporting is not automated must be implemented for each initialization part separately. Reports must be stored to _report attribute. Print is skipped if _report is empty.
Attribute _report is dictionary where key is "label" describing the processed part and value is dictionary where key is addon's class name and value is time delta of it's processing.
It is good idea to add total time delta on processed part under key which is defined in attribute _report_total_key. By default has value "Total" but use the attribute please.

        "FtrackAddon": 0.003,
