    Handler that uses hotshot to store profile data.

    Stores profile data in PROFILE_DATA_DIR.  Since hotshot has no way (that I
    know of) to append profile data to a single file, each request gets its own
    profile.  The file names are in the format <url>.<n>.prof where <url> is
    the request path with "/" replaced by ".", and <n> is a timestamp with
    microseconds to prevent overwriting files.

    Use the gather_profile_stats.py script to gather these individual request
    profiles into aggregated profiles by request path.
