What does this PR do?:
Moves GC callback registration from WallProfiler constructor to StartImpl, to be symmetrical with their deregistration through StopImpl->Dispose.
Motivation:
While we don't do this right now, it's possible to create a profiler and not start it. In that case, it will also never be stopped, and a GC callback that is installed can be invoked on a deleted profiler causing a use-after-free. With this change, the callbacks are only registered when the profiler is started, so their lifecycle follows that of start/stop.
Additional Notes:
This was broken out of #255 as a simple small fix. It comes up sometimes with ASAN especially when a test fails when we're trying to update dependencies.
