Rollup merge of #131829 - Zalathar:goodbye-zprofile, r=chenyukang
Remove support for `-Zprofile` (gcov-style coverage instrumentation)

Tracking issue: #42524

MCP: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/798

---

This PR removes the unstable `-Zprofile` flag, which enables ”gcov-style” coverage instrumentation, along with its associated `-Zprofile-emit` configuration flag.

(The profile flag predates and is almost entirely separate from the stable `-Cinstrument-coverage` flag.)

Notably, the `-Zprofile` flag:
- Is largely untested in-tree, having only one run-make test that does not check whether its output is correct or useful.
- Has no known maintainer.
- Has seen no push towards stabilization.
- Has at least one severe regression reported in 2022 that apparently remains unaddressed.
  - #100125
- Is confusingly named, since it appears to be more about coverage than performance profiling, and has nothing to do with PGO.
- Is fundamentally limited by relying on counters auto-inserted by LLVM, with no knowledge of Rust beyond debuginfo.
