Description

**Proposal:**
Flux supports profiling, to help users understand/troubleshoot the performance of their query, as described here: https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/cloud/reference/flux/stdlib/profiler/

The challenge is that most flux users do not know about this profiler, so they aren't getting the benefit. This feature would add an option into notebooks to expose the profiler, and make it easier for users to enable it.

**Current behavior:**
If you know about it, you can add the profiler option to your flux script. If you don't know about it, this is not an easy feature to discover.

**Desired behavior:**
Some way to easily enable the flux profiler and see the results, without needing to know what special options to include in your flux query.

**Use case:**
This helps customers understand the performance of their flux query, so they can improve the performance by adjusting their query.

**Note:**
Reach out to Nathaniel when you start working on this because there is also an API option to enable the profiler, so it can be done more transparently than the docs above describe.
