Misleading documentation, profiler doesn't work on Windows

Enabling debug, shows

CPU profiler is only supported on Linux and OS X.

which is the main thing I would expect from a profiler... So maybe add a warning that this can't be used on windows as people would normally understand it.

The Supported Environment section of the readme says that "Profilers only support on Linux and OS X".

Some parts of the agent can work on Windows. Also the development environment, where the agent is integrated, may be Windows. Therefore, we do not explicitly warn about it or throw errors. Besides that the agent is completely silent when debug logging is off.
