// Profile is a common stacktrace profile format.
//
// Measurements represented with this format should follow the
// following conventions:
//
// - Consumers should treat unset optional fields as if they had been
// set with their default value.
//
// - When possible, measurements should be stored in "unsampled" form
// that is most useful to humans. There should be enough
// information present to determine the original sampled values.
//
// - On-disk, the serialized proto must be gzip-compressed.
//
// - The profile is represented as a set of samples, where each sample
// references a sequence of locations, and where each location belongs
// to a mapping.
// - There is a N->1 relationship from sample.location_id entries to
// locations. For every sample.location_id entry there must be a
// unique Location with that id.
// - There is an optional N->1 relationship from locations to
// mappings. For every nonzero Location.mapping_id there must be a
// unique Mapping with that id.
