feat(profiling): Convert JFR converter script to use fat jar for 31x speedup

Replaced Gradle-based execution with a fat jar approach for dramatic
performance improvement in the JFR to OTLP conversion script.

Performance improvement:
- Previous: ~13+ seconds (Gradle overhead)
- New: ~0.4 seconds (< 0.5s total)
- Speedup: ~31x faster
- Actual conversion time: ~120ms (unchanged)

Implementation:
- Added shadowJar task to build.gradle.kts with minimization
- Modified convert-jfr.sh to use fat jar directly via java -jar
- Added automatic rebuild detection based on source file mtimes
- Jar only rebuilds when source files are newer than jar
- Cross-platform mtime detection (GNU stat → BSD stat fallback)
- Suppressed harmless SLF4J warnings (defaults to NOP logger)

Features:
- Automatic jar rebuild only when source files change
- Fast startup (no Gradle overhead)
- Clean output with SLF4J warnings filtered
- All existing diagnostics and features preserved

Fat jar details:
- Size: 1.9MB (minimized with shadow plugin)
- Location: build/libs/profiling-otel-*-cli.jar
- Main-Class manifest entry for direct execution
- Excludes unnecessary SLF4J service providers

Documentation:
- Updated CLI.md to highlight performance improvements
- Noted fat jar usage instead of Gradle task

Example:
  ./convert-jfr.sh --diagnostics recording.jfr output.pb
  Total time: 0.4s (vs 13+ seconds with Gradle)
