Delta profiles require a certain amount of heap memory that is
proportional to MemStats.BuckHashSys (typically ~2x). For applications
that make heavy use of code generation or recursion this memory usage can
be several hundred MB.
Add WithDeltaProfiles() that allows to disable delta profiles for
applications where this is a deal breaker. Those applications will still
see allocation profiles, but they won't be able to aggregate or compare
them.
The default value for WithDeltaProfiles() is true since applications
with high BuckHashSys seem to be rare.
See https://dtdg.co/go-delta-profile-docs for more information about
delta profiles.
