profiling: make statprof the default profiler (BC)

The statprof sampling profiler runs with significantly less overhead.
Its data is therefore more useful. Furthermore, its default output
shows the hotpath by default, which I've found to be way more useful
than the default profiler's function time table.

There is one behavioral regression with this change worth noting:
the statprof profiler currently doesn't profile individual hgweb
requests like lsprof does. This is because the current implementation
of statprof only profiles the thread that started profiling.

The ability for lsprof to profile individual hgweb requests is
relatively new and likely not widely used. Furthermore, I have plans
to modify statprof to support profiling multiple threads. I expect
that change to go through several iterations. I'm submitting this
patch first so there is more time to test statprof. Perfect is the
enemy of good.
