Add timestamp when a profile starts

[stefanosiano]

📜 Description

added start timestamp in ProfileStartData when a profile starts
added the timestamp in ProfilingTraceData and send it in the json payload

Example of wrong profile (before)
Example of correct profile (after)

💡 Motivation and Context

Profiles are a not aligned to spans, especially when we change the transaction start timestamp. In that case, it is assumed that the profile and the transaction starts at the same time, which is wrong. I added a timestamp field set when the profile starts.

💚 How did you test it?

It looks like there is something wrong, as changes are not reflected in the flamechart in Sentry. I'll keep it as a draft until further investigation.
