This (rather large) commit adds pprof profile generation to lightswitch. They can be dumped to disk and the read with pprof tooling (see test plan) as well as sent to a remote server with a new collector. By default profiles are written to dis as flamegraphs in svg format.
Test Plan / Demo
build with:
nix develop --command 'cargo build --release'
produces a flamegraph in svg format
produces a pprof file (uncompressed) that can be read with standard tooling
Performs an HTTP POST with the pprof as the body to a hardcoded server URL (this will change in the future).
