Support higher CPU profiler sampling rate on Windows

This change moves sampling from SamplerThread to the profiler events processing thread and allows to configure sampling interval on Windows.

Custom tick counter is used instead of OS::Ticks as the latter has maximum presicion of 1ms while we need 100us. QueryPerformanceCounter is used to retrieve high-precision time as described in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee417693(VS.85).aspx
