Oh I'm surprised we weren't doing this already. Thanks!
For some reason this PR doesn't have an "Update branch" button so I can't merge it until you push a rebased / merged version. Maybe you didn't have the "allow edits by maintainer" checkbox checked?

I ran into an issue on MacOS, when trying to reconstruct the monotonic timer value of a specific sample (since the reference timestamp was discarded before). My use case is extracting specific samples based on a monotonic time range.
By saving it inside the profile.json, we can reconstruct it again by adding the reference timestamp.
