Missing profile argument

The providers help mention profile, but it is not in the docs.

I took the profile description from https://github.com/dotnet/diagnostics/blob/master/documentation/design-docs/dotnet-tools.md

But I'm not sure if we should keep the information in both places

It also refers to some profiles not available in the current release 1.0.3-preview5.19251.2. The only profile in this version is runtime-basic

     This option adds to the configuration already provided via the --profile argument. If the same provider is configured in both places, this option takes precedence.
