// 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 index.
// - 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 index.

  values MUST be reset and a new fixed start time following the last
  reported measurement time sent MUST be used.

  For example, consider a system measuring the number of requests that
