runtime/pprof: output CPU profiles in pprof protobuf format

This change buffers the entire profile and converts in one shot
in the profile writer, and could use more memory than necessary
to output protocol buffer formatted profiles. It should be
possible to convert each chunk in a stream (maybe maintaining
some minimal state to output in the end) which could save on
memory usage.

Fixes #16093

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
