profiles: drop Sample.stacktrace_id_index (#575)

The value for Sample.stacktrace_id_index is hardly defined except for its length. It is also not defined how this value should be generated, interpreted and could be used.

Some kind of stacktrace_id can be most efficient in stateful protocols, where transmitting duplicate information should be avoided. As the OTel Profiling protocol is a stateless protocol, this element can be droped.
