GPU Usage Profiler disappears each time Unity is re-opened
How to reproduce:
1. Create or open Unity project
2. Go to Window --> Profiler
3. Click on Add Profiler and add GPU profiler
4. Save the project and close it
5. Re-open it and go to Window --> Profiler
Expected result: GPU Usage profiler is still among other profilers
Actual result: GPU Usage profiler is not among other profilers, you have to manually add it again
Reproducible with - 2018.1.0b4, 2017.3.0p3, 2017.2.1p2, 2017.1.3f1
Note: this is by design because having the GPU chart opened means profiling GPU, which in turn means a huge profiling overhead right after opening the profiler window.
However, we'll redesign how profiler areas are set to actively profile or just be "muted" in the future. This means, GPU chart would stick around and just reset to muted.
