setting variable g:startuptime_tries bigger than 1 results in an error frequtently #5

If we set the variable g:startuptime_tries to other values than 1, when I run command :StartupTime, I saw the following error almost all the time:

Error detected while processing function 15[1]..118_Profile[2]..startuptime#Main[9]..118_Consolidate:
line 9:
E605: Exception not caught: vim-startuptime: inconsistent tries

Sometimes, this command does succeed, but rarely.

Nvim version: NVIM v0.5.0-dev+1459-g384f9870f
OS: Linux CentOS 7.4
vim-startuptime version: Latest master

Thanks for reporting this!

The code was assuming that the events reported when using Vim's --startuptime are consistent across multiple invocations (in both the events themselves and their ordering). I've updated the code to no longer make this assumption.
