Description

There are various arguments which are available when calling `profile` and `pstats`.

It would be nice to be able to select those via `pytest.ini`

- sort: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/profile.html#pstats.Stats.sort_stats , needs to be comma separated list.

- percentage or count of lines to print

- regular expression to limit names of printed functions

- `timeunit`, `subcalls` (bool) & `builtins` (bool)

As percentage or count and regular expression can be in either order, it might be wiser to have that as a single config option. On the command line, the order can be derived from the arg order. Maybe the same can be done by the order in `pytest.ini`.. ?

Research direction

Start by locating the profile and pstats argument handling and the pytest.ini configuration registration. Compare the existing command-line options with the requested sort, output limit, function-name filter, timeunit, subcalls, and builtins settings. Done means the listed parameters can be selected through pytest.ini with a defined ordering for the ambiguous options.
