/* Evict the least used half of the hash_table.

   When the table is full, we have to evict someone.
   The easiest and most efficient is to evict the value we're about to add
   (i.e. once the table is full, stop sampling).

   We could also pick the element with the lowest count and evict it,
   but finding it is O(N) and for that amount of work we get very
   little in return: for the next sample, this latest sample will have
   count==1 and will hence be a prime candidate for eviction :-(

   So instead, we take O(N) time to eliminate more or less half of the
   entries (the half with the lowest counts).  So we get an amortized
   cost of O(1) and we get O(N) time for a new entry to grow larger
   than the other least counts before a new round of eviction.  */

           There are 2 ways to do that, AFAICT:
           - Set a flag checked in QUIT, such that QUIT can then call
             Fprofiler_cpu_log and stash the full log for later use.
           - Set a flag check in post-gc-hook, so that Elisp code can call
             profiler-cpu-log.  That gives us more flexibility since that
             Elisp code can then do all kinds of fun stuff like write
             the log to disk.  Or turn it right away into a call tree.
           Of course, using Elisp is generally preferable, but it may
           take longer until we get a chance to run the Elisp code, so
           there's more risk that the table will get full before we
