jade 412a9c9f67 Enable clang build timing analysis
I didn't enable this by default for clang due to making the build time
10% worse or so. Unfortunate, but tbh devs for whom 10% of build time is
not *that* bad should probably simply enable this.

synopsis: Clang build timing analysis
cls: 587
---
We now have Clang build profiling available, which generates Chrome
tracing files for each compilation unit. To enable it, run `meson configure
build -Dprofile-build=enabled` then rerun the compilation.
If you want to make the build go faster, do a clang build with meson, then run
`maintainers/buildtime_report.sh build`, then contemplate how to improve the
build time.
You can also look at individual object files' traces in
<https://ui.perfetto.dev>.
