Separate labscript-profile-create into a separate CLI interface and the

actual creation function `create_profile`,
which is automatically called when labscript_utils is imported and the profile does not already exist.
Separation ensures that argparse doesn't consume erroneous CLI arguments
just because a command incidentally imports labscript_utils (like on RTD).
