Make profiling work with multiple capabilities (+RTS -N)
This means that both time and heap profiling work for parallel programs. Main internal changes: - CCCS is no longer a global variable; it is now another pseudo-register in the StgRegTable struct. Thus every Capability has its own CCCS. - There is a new built-in CCS called "IDLE", which records ticks for Capabilities in the idle state. If you profile a single-threaded program with +RTS -N2, you'll see about 50% of time in "IDLE". - There is appropriate locking in rts/Profiling.c to protect the shared cost-centre-stack data structures. This patch does enough to get it working, I have cut one big corner: the cost-centre-stack data structure is still shared amongst all Capabilities, which means that multiple Capabilities will race when updating the "allocations" and "entries" fields of a CCS. Not only does this give unpredictable results, but it runs very slowly due to cache line bouncing. It is strongly recommended that you use -fno-prof-count-entries to disable the "entries" count when profiling parallel programs. (I shall add a note to this effect to the docs).
