Profiling: Adds an option to not start time profiling at startup

This patch adds a RTS flag (--no-automatic-time-samples) which allows the program to start without starting the time profiling, in the same spirit as d89deeba did for heap profiling.

Please take a few moments to address the following points:

  • if your MR may break existing programs (e.g. touches base or causes the compiler to reject programs), please describe the expected breakage and add the ~"user-facing" label. This will run ghc/head.hackage> to characterise the effect of your change on Hackage.
  • ensure that your commits are either individually buildable or squashed
  • ensure that your commit messages describe what they do (referring to tickets using #NNNN syntax when appropriate)
  • have added source comments describing your change. For larger changes you likely should add a [Note][notes] and cross-reference it from the relevant places.
  • add a [testcase to the testsuite][adding test].
  • updates the users guide if applicable
  • mentions new features in the release notes for the next release
