Add pyinstrument profiling script for Raster.sample() method

[Copilot]

Adds profiling infrastructure for the Raster.sample() method to support performance optimization work.

Changes

• New script: scripts/profiling/profile_sample.py profiles sampling operations with 100, 1K, and 10K points on a 1000×1000 raster
• Output: Interactive HTML reports (gitignored) viewable in browser
• Usage: uv run python scripts/profiling/profile_sample.py

The script generates detailed call stacks showing time distribution across sampling operations, useful for identifying bottlenecks referenced in the code comment linking to https://rdrn.me/optimising-sampling/.
