cmd/pprof/internal: use and accept packed encoding for repeated fields
Packed encoding is the default on the proto3 format. Profiles generated in the profile.proto format by third parties cannot be decoded by the Go pprof tool, since its proto decoder does not recognize packed encoding for repeated fields. In particular this issue prevents go tool pprof from reading profiles generated by the version of pprof in github.com/google/pprof Profiles generated by go tool pprof after this change will use packed repeating fields, so older versions of pprof will not be able to read them. pprof will continue to be able to read profiles generated before this change.
