runsc: add global profile collection flags

Add global flags -profile-{block,cpu,heap,mutex} and -trace which
enable collection of the specified profile for the entire duration of a
container execution. This provides a way to definitively start profiling
before that application starts, rather than attempting to race with an
out-of-band `runsc debug`.

Note that only the main boot process is profiled.

This exposed a bug in Task.traceExecEvent: a crash when tracing and
-race are enabled. traceExecEvent is called off of the task goroutine,
but uses the Task as a context, which is a violation of the Task
contract. Switching to the AsyncContext fixes the issue.

Fixes #220
