Add startTime to datadog.ProfilerCounter event

[manuel-alvarez-alvarez]

What does this PR do?:
Fixes the generation of JFR dumps so they can be read by the jfr tool by adding startTime to datadog.ProfilerCounter event

Motivation:
The jfr tool could not open the dumps generated by the profiler, failing with:

java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to java.lang.Long
        at jdk.jfr.consumer.EventParser.parse(EventParser.java:62)

Additional Notes:

How to test the change?:

For Datadog employees:

• If this PR touches code that signs or publishes builds or packages, or handles
  credentials of any kind, I've requested a review from @DataDog/security-design-and-guidance.
• This PR doesn't touch any of that.

Unsure? Have a question? Request a review!

Dismissing until tests are fixed

@manuel-alvarez-alvarez we need to get to the bottom of why the tests fail on class metadata with this change, which might make this change more complex than it first seems. We've never aimed for compatibility with the JFR tool, only with JMC, but if you need this from us we can ensure support (and testing) in a reasonably short time frame. If you have spare cycles to debug this now, don't be discouraged.

There's no real business need from having support for JFR (just me trying to open the dumps from IntelliJ). I took the opportunity as a weekend lecture to learn about the format of the dumps and profiling in general 😄. Don't waste your time on this, if I find some spare time I'll take it for another ride and see why the tests are failing, but if nothing comes from it we can close the PR.

@jbachorik I'm ok with this one when you are. @manuel-alvarez-alvarez thanks for doing this!
