Disable interval-based profile dumps by default.
It is common to have to specify something like JEMALLOC_OPTIONS=F31i, because interval-based dumps are often unuseful or too expensive. Therefore, disable interval-based dumps by default. To get the previous default behavior it is now necessary to specify 31I as part of the options.
