179 - Set a flag checked in QUIT, such that QUIT can then call
180 Fprofiler_cpu_log and stash the full log for later use.
181 - Set a flag check in post-gc-hook, so that Elisp code can call
182 profiler-cpu-log. That gives us more flexibility since that
183 Elisp code can then do all kinds of fun stuff like write
184 the log to disk. Or turn it right away into a call tree.
