Properly rebuild optimization data when it changes (#56397)

The timestamp of the merged .mibc file was set to when the tool was
invoked, while the inputs have a timestamp from when they were created
in the training scenarios. That means the target to create the merged
.mibc file would not run incrementally until many weeks later.

To fix add an --inherit-timestamp flag to dotnet-pgo that makes the
merged output inherit the max timestamp from the inputs. This is not
ideal as it means incrementally going backwards does not work, but it's
better than the previous behavior.

Fix #53637
