[Feat][Worker] NPUWorker Profiler profile_prefix full adaptation (RFC #6954) (#6968)

## What this PR does / why we need it?

Implements [RFC
#6954](https://github.com/vllm-project/vllm-ascend/issues/6954):
NPUWorker Profiler profile_prefix full adaptation for API parity with
upstream vLLM.

### Changes
- **Lazy profiler init**: Defer profiler creation until first
`profile(is_start=True)` call
- **profile_prefix param**: Add `profile_prefix` to `profile()`; compute
`trace_name` from prefix + `get_worker_rank_suffix()`
- **Refactor `_init_profiler` → `_create_profiler(trace_name)`**: Pass
`worker_name` to `tensorboard_trace_handler` for unique trace files per
worker
- Unique trace files per worker; no collision in multi-worker setups

### Testing
- Unit tests updated/added in `tests/ut/worker/test_worker_v1.py`
- `pytest tests/ut/worker/test_worker_v1.py::TestNPUWorker` passed

## Does this PR introduce _any_ user-facing change?
Yes. Trace file naming may differ (more descriptive with worker rank
suffix). `profile(is_start=True, profile_prefix="warmup")` now
supported.

## How was this patch tested?
- Unit tests:`pytest tests/ut/worker/test_worker_v1.py::TestNPUWorker`
- Manual: vLLM serve with profiler config, start/stop profile, verified
trace files

- vLLM version: v0.16.0
- vLLM main:
15d76f74e2
