The --contention-profiling flag enables block profiling by calling
SetBlockProfileRate(). It, however does not call SetMutexProfileFraction
which enables mutex profiling.
Mutex profiling gives us information about lock contention whereas
block profiling on the other hand gives us information on gorotuines
being blocked on sync primitives.
Updating the docs to "block profiling" in order to make it more accurate.
Eventhough a block profile may reflect contention points on locks to some
extent, it also talks about other sources where goroutines may be blocked.

Serving profiling information can leak information or expose the
apiserver to possible DoS attacks. Serving on a UDS is more secure
though slightly less convenient. One can't use `go tool pprof` directly
against the socket since it's not supported, but can either run a proxy
to copy from the socket over to http, or use `curl --unix-socket` to
download the profile and then use `go tool pprof`.

Add pprof trace support and --enable-contention-profiling to those
components that don't already have it.
