profiling

[Turbinenreiter]

I started writing a simple profiler:
https://github.com/turbinenreiter/micropython-uprofile

Before I did that, I looked into porting 'profile' from Cpython, which is a profiler written in python. However, it relies on 'compile', which isn't implemented yet.
In the meantime, this little helper may be useful.

The way you do it, it would make more sense to port standard module "timeit" (https://docs.python.org/3/library/timeit.html) to https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib

timeit also needs compile.
