Remove the heuristic of recognizing build ID command line arg. #775

I am not entirely sure why this heuristic exists and we have -buildid flag for this anyway. I suspect having this shortcut to specify the build ID was for some reason more important in the past (more profiles did not record the build ID of the main binary? not sure), but now it seems very exotic to have to specify the build ID anyway.
