Save profile output to file

[ebuech]

Background

It would be really great to be able to save the profiler output to file instead of just printing on the screen. This would be a big help when comparing simulation performance across large number of runs.

Proposed solution

Save profiler info to csv file. The "Core profiler results" could be a table with three columns and the "Model profiler results" could be a table with four columns. These two tables could be stacked on top of each other in a single csv or there could be two separate csvs. Saving to a .txt file would also be fine.

Outputting the profiler results to CSV and JSON does not appear to work.

The following commands do not work: gridlabd xxxxx.glm --profile=CSV and gridlabd xxxxx.glm --profile=JSON

The following command does output the profiler results to a text file named gridlabd.pro: gridlabd xxxxx.glm --redirect profile
