 Show sources of cost centers in .prof

 This fixes the problem with duplicate cost-centre names that was
 reported a couple of times before. When a module implements a typeclass
 multiple times for different types, methods of different implementations
 get same cost-centre names and are reported like this:

 It's not possible to tell from the report which `==` took how long. This
 patch adds one more column at the cost of making outputs wider. The
 report now looks like this:

 To fix failing test cases because of different orderings of cost centres
 (e.g. optimized and non-optimized build printing in different order),
 with this patch we also start sorting cost centres before printing. The
 order depends on 1) entries (more entered cost centres come first) 2)
 names (using strcmp() on cost centre names).
