[oe] [meta-oe][PATCH 1/3] guider: add a new runtime profiler package

[Peace Lee]

Thanks for your advice :)

Should I submit a new patch again after changing a below patch?
I am not familiar with this process ;)
It couldn't be reached to openembedded-devel members When I sent patch
first so that I sent github pull-request to Khem Raj.

Anyway, I agree with your comments (fixing typos, moving the recipe to
meta-tool, dropping last some lines).
But what does "*Shouldn't the packages that guider uses be recommended at
least?*" mean?
Guider only requires "python-ctypes, python-shell, python-json,
python-subprocess" package :)
Some kernel configurations and patches are needed to trace user-level
functions but it depends on users.

Happy new year!
