Add option to write to file #78

Scenario: PHP crashes due to a segfault or whatever.

IF xhprof had an option to write to file, this could be a huge help to debug whitescreens.

That a write-to-file might be horribly slow in the first place is no problem for this use case.

This is technically complicated (for example, the serialization format isn't streamable) and far afield from the normal responsibilities of a profiler, so I don't anticipate supporting this.
