Fix inverted flamegraph width
The inverted view used thread presence as a proxy for self time.
This missed self samples on C-level wrapper frames like _run_code,
where the node's thread always appears in its children too. Those
samples were silently dropped, causing the chart to render narrower
than full width. Now uses the explicit self field on each node
instead of the thread heuristic.
We already show self time in differential flamegraphs, but it should
be included in regular flamegraphs as well. Display the time spent
in the function body excluding callees, not just the total inclusive
time.
Differential flame graphs compare two profiling runs and highlight where
performance has changed. This makes it easier to detect regressions
introduced by code changes and to verify that optimizations have the
intended effect.
The visualization renders the current profile with frame widths
representing current time consumption. Color is then applied to show the
difference relative to the baseline profile: red gradients indicate
regressions, while blue gradients indicate improvements.
Some call paths may disappear entirely between profiles. These are
referred to as elided stacks and occur when optimizations remove code
paths or when certain branches stop executing. When elided stacks are
present, an "Elided" toggle is displayed, allowing the user to switch
between the main differential view and a view showing only the removed
paths.

When running the `profiling.sampling` module in pstats mode, the output
can be emitted in two different ways: text to stdout or a binary file
when the `--output` argument is set.
The current documentation and help text is confusing as it does not
distinguish between these two output formats so it may be surprising to
the user to get different formats depending whether `--output` is set or not.
The bytecode panel appears when a user generates a heatmap with
--opcodes and clicks the button to unfold a line and display the
bytecode instructions. Currently, an empty space appears on the
left where the line number, self, and total columns are displayed.
This area should instead extend those columns, rather than leaving
a gap.
