Add IQR-based environment fluctuation detection to benchmark timing stats

Overview:
This commit introduces IQR (Interquartile Range) based environment fluctuation
detection to the timing statistics calculation in test_compiler_util.py. The
feature helps detect unstable benchmarking environments by measuring the
relative variation in timing results.

Key Changes:
- Enhanced get_timing_stats() function to compute median, Q1, Q3, and IQR
- Added environment variable GRAPH_NET_FLUCTUATION_DETECT_THRESHOLD for
  configurable fluctuation detection sensitivity
- RuntimeError is raised when IQR/median exceeds the threshold
- Extended return stats dictionary with new fields: median, q1, q3, iqr

IQR/median Ratio:
- Measures relative variability of timing measurements
- Lower values indicate more consistent timing
- Higher values indicate environment instability or interference

Environment Variable Configuration:
- GRAPH_NET_FLUCTUATION_DETECT_THRESHOLD (default: 0.2)
- 0.0: Disable detection (always accept results)
- 0.5: Lenient (only flag severe fluctuations > 50%)
- 1.0: Default (flag fluctuations > 20%)
- 2.0: Very strict (flag fluctuations > 10%)

Detection Algorithm:
1. Calculate median, Q1 (25th percentile), Q3 (75th percentile)
2. Compute IQR = Q3 - Q1
3. Calculate relative IQR = IQR / median
4. Compare against threshold
5. Raise RuntimeError with detailed diagnostics if exceeded

Error Message Format:
When fluctuation is detected, the error message includes:
- IQR/median ratio and threshold
- Q1 and Q3 values as percentages
- IQR as percentage
- Raw timing values for manual inspection

Use Cases:
- Multi-user GPU environments where timing variance is common
- CI/CD pipeline monitoring for performance regression detection
- Manual benchmark verification in shared resources
- Identifying external workload interference

Performance Impact:
- Minimal: Adds a single numpy array conversion and percentile calculations
- Scales with number of timing trials (typically 5-10 runs)
- O(n) complexity for array operations

Backward Compatibility:
- Fully backward compatible
- Existing code continues to work without modification
- Only raises RuntimeError when fluctuation is detected
- Default threshold (0.2) provides balanced sensitivity

Testing:
- Verified with sample timing data showing correct IQR calculations
- Tested threshold sensitivity with various timing distributions
- Confirmed graceful handling when all times are equal (IQR=0)
