Add fgprof pprof profiler (#20005)

fgprof is a sampling Go profiler that allows you to analyze On-CPU as
well as Off-CPU (e.g. I/O) time together.

Go's builtin sampling CPU profiler can only show On-CPU time, but it's
better than fgprof at that. Go also includes tracing profilers that can
analyze I/O, but they can't be combined with the CPU profiler.

fgprof is designed for analyzing applications with mixed I/O and CPU
workloads. This kind of profiling is also known as wall-clock profiling.

Whilst fgprof can cause significant STW latencies in applications with a
lot of goroutines (> 1-10k), these latencies only occur if the profile
is requested - it doesn't cause a delay by simply being available.

The fgprof profile is mounted on
`http://localhost:6060/debug/fgprof?seconds=3`
