Add go tool pprof import support (#165)
This PR adds support for importing from Google's pprof format, which is a gzipped, protobuf encoded file format (that's incredibly well documented!) The [pprof http library](https://golang.org/pkg/net/http/pprof/) also offers an output of the trace file format, which continues to not be supported in speedscope to date (See #77). This will allow importing of profiles generated by the standard library go profiler for analysis of profiles containing heap allocation information, CPU profile information, and a few other things like coroutine creation information.

In order to add support for that a number of dependent bits of functionality were added, which should each provide an easier path for future binary input sources

- A protobuf decoding library was included ([protobufjs](https://www.npmjs.com/package/protobufjs)) which includes both a protobuf parser generator based on a .proto file & TypeScript definition generation from the resulting generated JavaScript file
- More generic binary file import. Before this PR, all supported sources were plaintext, with the exception of Instruments 10 support, which takes a totally different codepath. Now binary file import should work when files are dropped, opened via file browsing, or opened via invocation of the speedscope CLI.
- Transparent gzip decoding of imported files (this means that if you were to gzip compress another JSON file, then importing it should still work fine)

Fixes #60.
