Add a method for dumping profiles as self-contained HTML w/ timeline visualization

This commit adds the `--profiler-trace-path` flag. When combined with `-p` to
enable profiling, it dumps a profile as a self-contained HTML file to the given
path. The profile visualizes the traced operations as a Gantt-chart style
timeline.

Example output HTML file: http://media.fitzgeraldnick.com/dumping-grounds/trace-reddit.html

Mostly I made this because I wanted to see what kind of data the profiler has, and thought that this might be useful for others as well. I'm happy to add tests if we can figure out how to integrate them into CI, but I'm not sure how that would work.

Thoughts?
