[CK][CK_TILE] Fix library caching bug in gemm dispatcher
 (#6445)

## Motivation

setup_gemm_dispatcher() was rebuilding libraries on every call instead
of reusing cached libraries.

**Root Cause**:
1. Library names only included dtype+layout, causing different
tile/wave/warp configs to overwrite each other
2. No cache checking - always loaded default library, detected mismatch,
then rebuilt

## Technical Details

**Solution**:
1. Complete library naming with all distinguishing parameters:
libdispatcher_gemm_{dtype}_{layout}_{tile}_{wave}_{warp}_{pipeline}_{epilogue}_{scheduler}.so

2. Cache checking before rebuild:
   - Check if library for exact config already exists
   - Reuse if found (500x faster: 0.02s vs 10s)
   - Only rebuild when no cached library exists

3. Better error handling for kernel generation failures

Files Changed:
- dispatcher/python/ctypes_utils.py
- dispatcher/tests/test_library_caching.py (new unit test)

## Test Plan

Use `dispatcher/tests/test_library_caching.py ` to ensure that libraries
are cached and only rebuilt if they are not present in build directory

1. **test_01_unique_library_naming** - Library names include all
parameters (dtype, layout, tile, wave, warp, pipeline, epilogue,
scheduler)
2. **test_02_library_build_and_cache** - Libraries are built once and
then cached for reuse
3. **test_03_different_configs_different_libraries** - Different configs
create different library files
4. **test_04_cache_message_verification** - Cache hit messages are
logged correctly
5. **test_05_code_fix_verification** - Code changes are present in
ctypes_utils.py

## Test Result
All the test above passed.
