fix(skewt): write profile files for f01..f18 forecast hours

The /skewt page was empty in prod because Phase 2 of the Rust cutover
moved f01..f18 grid scoring to Rust but left profile-file writing only
on the analysis (f00) path. Result: /data/scores/profiles/ accumulated
one file per chain run instead of nineteen, so SkewtLive only ever saw
the analysis hour — and that hour falls outside the 1 h past cutoff
within an hour of the chain finishing, leaving the page empty most of
the time.

Two surgical fixes:

  * `pipeline::run_chain_step` now builds `profile_entries` alongside
    `prepared` from the merged grid in a single iter pass, then spawns
    `profiles_file::write_atomic` on the blocking pool to overlap the
    NFS write with the score-band scoring/write fan-out — same pattern
    `run_analysis_step` already uses. `ChainStepStats` gains
    `profile_cells_written` so the worker log line is symmetric with
    the analysis step's existing field and a future failure mode that
    drops the profile would show up as a divergence.

  * `SkewtLive.available_valid_times/0` widens the past cutoff from
    1 h to 3 h. The chain's analysis hour can be ~70 min old by the
    time the next chain finishes (and ~2 h on a missed cycle), so the
    1 h cutoff was leaving the page blank during normal transients.
    18 h forward window unchanged.

Cosmetic: cargo fmt picked up trivial rewrites in decoder/fetcher/
native_duct/hrrr_point_worker that had drifted; rolled in.

Verification: cargo build --release, cargo clippy --lib --bins -D
warnings, cargo test --lib (134/134), mix test
test/microwaveprop_web/live/skewt_live_test.exs (3/3) all green.
