Cache MUMPS symbolic analysis by structural hash

- Add MUMPSAnalysisPlan to cache symbolic analysis (ordering, symbolic
  factorization) which depends only on sparsity structure, not values
- Use METIS ordering (ICNTL(7)=5) for better fill-in reduction and
  parallel scalability
- Subsequent factorizations with same structure skip analysis phase,
  achieving ~5x speedup for repeated solves
- Add clear_mumps_analysis_cache!() to explicitly clear the cache
- Update clear_plan_cache!() to also clear MUMPS analysis cache
