fa780e1c25e8e98253e32d93db65f78a0092433f build: Remove --enable-gprof (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
It is unclear what benefit this option has, given that:
* `gprof` requires re-compilation (`perf` and other tools can instead be used on existing executables)
* `gprof` requires hardening to be disabled
* `gprof` doesn't work with `clang`
* `perf` is documented in the dev-notes, and test notes, and embedded into the functional test framework; `gprof` isn't
* Anyone really wanting to use it could pass the required flags to `./configure`
* I couldn't find any mention of the use of `gprof` in the discussions in this repo, apart from the initial pull request adding it (cfaac2a60f3ac63ae8deccb03d88bd559449b78c)
* Keeping it means that it needs to be maintained and ported to CMake
Fix all issues by removing it.

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
