Add PSO creation as frame metrics

[planetchili]

Add PSO creation metrics and broader concept of inter-frame events/metrics (events that can span multiple frames and are not strictly tied to any one). Although not strictly tied to any one frame's work, they are associated to frames for transport / output purposes. Multiple metrics derive from the PSO creation event, aggregated differently across associated frames' times. Also add test case ETL containing PSO creation events (Nomad loading screen).

closes #657

When reviewing, items to consider:

• Most appropriate boundary/dividing line to use when associating/allocating inter-frame work to presents (currently mimics GPUTrace behavior)
• Implications for (multi) frame generation technologies
• Would busy % better be represented as busy milliseconds, to better align with existing behavior CPU/GPU bus?
• Appropriateness of external-facing names (metric ID, CSV column, UI/overlay)
• Run pull-aux.ps1 to update gold CSVs if running tests during review

Pull request overview

Adds D3D12 PSO (CreatePipelineStateObject) compilation timing as a new set of “inter-frame” metrics by correlating ETW activity start/stop events to per-present frame windows, then exposing the derived count/time/busy-% through the metrics pipeline (service/API, CSV output, and tests).

Changes:

• Introduces InterPresentActivity to attribute ETW activity spans (starting with D3D12 PSO compile) to per-frame stats and wires it into the ETW consumer/session.
• Plumbs new PSO compile metrics through the metrics calculator/types, public API/metadata, sample client CSV output, and API integration tests.
• Adds unit tests for inter-present attribution utilities and a new ETL-backed paced polling/frame test case.
