Endpoint to create a new ProfileSample

## Request body

- object
  - `data` ProfileSampleItemV3CreateSchema, required: Create schema for ProfileSampleItemV3
    - `projectId` string, uuid: ID of project
    - `primaryEntityId` string, uuid, required: ID of the resource the profile sample belongs to (Service / Host / DockerHost / KubernetesCluster / Monitor — disambiguated by primaryEntityType)
    - `primaryEntityType` string: Discriminator for primaryEntityId — tells the read side which resource table to dispatch to
    - `profileId` string, required: FK to profile table
    - `traceId` string: Trace correlation (from Link table)
    - `spanId` string: Span correlation (from Link table)
    - `time` string, date-time, required: Sample timestamp
    - `timeUnixNano` union, required: Sample timestamp in unix nanoseconds
      - number
      - string
    - `stacktrace` string[]: Fully-resolved stack frames (function@file:line)
    - `stacktraceHash` string, required: Hash of stacktrace for grouping
    - `frameTypes` string[]: Per-frame runtime type (kernel, native, jvm, cpython, go, v8js, etc.)
    - `value` union, required: Sample value (CPU time, bytes, count)
      - number
      - string
    - `profileType` string, required: Denormalized profile type for filtering
    - `labels` object: Sample-level labels
    - `entityKeys` string[]: Stable keys of every OpenTelemetry entity (service, host, k8s.pod, container, ...) this signal belongs to. A superset that includes the primary entity. Enables cross-cutting membership queries via has(entityKeys, :key).
    - `serviceEntityKey` string: Scalar entity key for this entity type (see entityKeys); '' when the resource has no entity of this type.
    - `hostEntityKey` string: Scalar entity key for this entity type (see entityKeys); '' when the resource has no entity of this type.
    - `k8sPodEntityKey` string: Scalar entity key for this entity type (see entityKeys); '' when the resource has no entity of this type.
    - `k8sNodeEntityKey` string: Scalar entity key for this entity type (see entityKeys); '' when the resource has no entity of this type.
    - `k8sClusterEntityKey` string: Scalar entity key for this entity type (see entityKeys); '' when the resource has no entity of this type.
    - `containerEntityKey` string: Scalar entity key for this entity type (see entityKeys); '' when the resource has no entity of this type.
