tracing disabled in pprof facility

AIUI, pprof is a sampling tool (wakes up every 100ms and checks the call
stack). I didn't think it was possible to operate in tracing mode and have
it actually record all call stacks all the time.

@Junien Fridrick,

Could you please explain why you need it in 'trace" mode?

I think it could help diagnosing bugs such as bug 1733708.

@Junien Fridrick (axino) ,

I have proposed against develop (heading into 2.4): https://github.com/juju/juju/pull/8358

Could you please have a look and take it for a spin before I land? Does this answer your needs?
