perf(map): collapse point_detail/forecast NFS I/O + silence /metrics logs
Clicks on the map were hanging for 1-3s, triggering the Phoenix topbar
progress bar visible to the user. Three hot-path improvements:

1. ScoresFile.read_point now uses a two-range :file.pread/2 — reads the
   33-byte header + one cell byte (~60 bytes) instead of the full ~93 KB
   file. point_forecast walks 19 forecast hours per click, so the old
   full-read path was the dominant cost on cold cache.

2. ProfilesFile.read/1 and list_valid_times/0 cached via
   Microwaveprop.Cache (5s TTL). Decoded profile maps are ~10 MB each
   (92k cells); timeline scrub that re-clicks the same valid_time
   within seconds now hits ETS instead of re-gunzipping + decoding.
   Cache keys include base_dir so test setup that swaps dirs doesn't
   see stale entries. Writes + prune + retain_window invalidate.

3. Endpoint log_level now filters /metrics the same way it already
   filters /health — Prometheus scrapes every 5s and was producing
   visible log spam.

Pod-local ETS is right for this workload (per-click read, tiny working
set); Valkey / shared memstore would not help here since each pod needs
its own fast-path lookup. File a follow-up if cross-pod score lookups
ever show up in flame graphs.

defmodule Microwaveprop.Propagation.ScoresFile do
@moduledoc """
Binary on-disk storage for propagation score grids. One file per
`(band_mhz, valid_time)` tuple, ~93 KB each. Written in the
forecast-hour hot path as a companion to the Postgres upsert, and
eventually replacing it.
## Layout
magic : 4 bytes "NTMS"
version : 1 byte 0x01
band_mhz : 4 bytes uint32 little-endian
valid_time : 8 bytes int64 unix seconds little-endian
lat_min : 4 bytes float32 little-endian
lon_min : 4 bytes float32 little-endian
step_deg : 4 bytes float32 little-endian
n_rows : 2 bytes uint16 little-endian (lat dimension)
n_cols : 2 bytes uint16 little-endian (lon dimension)
scores : n_rows × n_cols bytes (uint8, 0-100 or 255 = no-data)
A cell at `(lat, lon)` is at byte offset
`row * n_cols + col` in the scores body, where
`row = (lat - lat_min) / step` and `col = (lon - lon_min) / step`
(both rounded to the nearest integer).
## Atomic writes
Files are written through `rename(2)`: `path.tmp.<uniq>` → fsync →
rename to the final path. On the same NFSv4 filesystem the rename
is atomic, so a concurrent reader either sees the old file, the
new file, or the absence of either — never a partial file.
