This patch simply uses a better workaround for the freeze issue. Instead of Idle Armada delaying the garbage collector as much as possible (which increased memory usage), we found a specific feature of the go runtime to disable to prevent the GC from freezing. This may be a bug in either steam or in go, but in the meantime this better workaround was suggested in this go runtime issue:
I finally found a way to reproduce the freezing behavior that many users are seeing on windows. It turns out the key is to run it with steam overlay. I understand it's some interaction between ebiten engine, steam overlay, and the go garbage collector. If I disable the go garbage collector, it doesn't happen at all. I don't deeply understand the issue yet, but with that new understanding I've b…

Add -profile commandline, which when passed outputs various detailed performance information compatible with the go tool pprof (see details on settings -> dev stats page, or by hitting slash button on keyboard). · Change the inner workings of how we tell ebiten what graphics library to use (stop using environment variables which is deprecated).
