Add multi-file support to build analysis tool

Enhanced analyze_build_trace.py to aggregate statistics across multiple
trace files instead of analyzing only one. The tool now accepts a build
directory, comma-separated file list, or single file.

Key improvements:
- Process all .cpp.json and .hip.json files in build directory
- Track per-file statistics and template time contributions
- Show which file each expensive instantiation originated from
- Maintain backward compatibility with single-file analysis

Updated ck-build-analysis skill to pass build directory instead of
searching for a single trace file.

Validated against ClangBuildAnalyzer with <0.31% variance on individual
instantiation times across 392,168 aggregated events.
