add Dockerfile and Rocky Linux 9 build docs
Introduces a Docker-based build path so ior can be compiled on any Linux host without a native Rocky 9 toolchain setup: - Dockerfile: Rocky 9 minimal image with Go (version from ARG, default from go.mod), static libelf/libzstd built from source, libbpfgo at v0.9.2-libbpf-1.5.1, and mage; CMD runs mage generate + mage all against the repo root mounted as a volume. - scripts/build-with-docker.sh: reads GO_VERSION from go.mod, passes it as --build-arg to docker build, mounts tracefs and BTF into the container, writes the binary to the repo root. - Magefile.go: adds BuildDocker target that wraps the script. - README.md: simplified to the two build paths (Docker + native) with links to docs/; removed GOTOOLCHAIN=auto throughout. - docs/build-rocky-linux-9.md: full manual Rocky 9 steps, libbpfgo toolchain setup/rollback, compile-once-run-everywhere explanation, and timing semantics. - docs/tui-reference.md: complete TUI hotkey reference, recording mode details, and the .ior.zst vs Parquet trade-off table. - AGENTS.md: removed GOTOOLCHAIN=auto from all build commands. - internal/c/generated_tracepoints.c: regenerated against the host kernel.
