API for outputting different formats from CPython sampling profiler

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

CPython 3.15 has statistical sampling profiler which currently only supports outputting

1. pstats https://docs.python.org/3.15/library/profile.html#pstats.Stats
2. collapsed format for flamegraphs https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/8d5c3341c538cd1a4192ca8a1536b2eed4b98c69/Lib/profiling/sampling/stack_collector.py#L24

Since it's still an early stage for the sampling profiler, I thought it would be nice to initiate discussion around how to support multiple different formats from the profiler.

1. pprof
2. OTel

are the formats that could potentially be added, but supporting those from CPython would introduce dependencies that might complicate building/testing and distributing CPython.

I'd like to suggest that CPython has an interface to support 3rd party collectors. What do you think?

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

I have already discussed this feature proposal on Discourse

先閱讀 Lib/profiling/sampling/stack_collector.py，以及 issue 中提到的現有 pstats 和 collapsed-format 處理。在為第三方 collector 提出介面之前，請先檢視連結的 Discourse 討論；要視為完成，必須具備已達成共識的 API、受支援格式的界線，以及針對 CPython 建置、測試和散佈限制的計畫。
