pm2 install profiler installs v8-profiler-node8 but code looks for v8-profiler

Hi,

When you run pm2 install profiler it installs the v8-profiler-node8 package. however when you try to use the profiler to create a snapshot with pm2 snapshot it complains v8-profiler is not available.

It seems that code is trying to require a package called v8-profiler even though what was actually installed was called v8-profiler-node8

Hi @mrfelton

Good catch. Indeed we switch from v8-profiler to v8-profiler-node8 for compatibility reason.
I will fix it soon ;)
