run-perf-tests should have a --profile option for easy profiling

On Mac we'd use instruments.
On Linux, presumably perf or pprof (if that's possible from our tcmalloc implementation).
On windows, I'm not sure.

It's possible we'd need to make thees options more-specific (like --instruments, vs. --pprof, etc.) like they were for run-sunspider.

The goal would be to make it very easy for those not-necessarily familiar with the profiling tools on the various platforms to get useful perf data about their webkit changes.
