Description

### Describe the feature request

Currently, if a developer wants to build an application targeting different silicon on Windows, there is no way for them to discover what EPs on the device support compilation. As an example, the MIGraphX EP does not implement the Compile() method and so the caller gets back an error (e.g., on 1.24.x ORT, `Model compilation status: ep_plugin_provider_interfaces.cc:349 onnxruntime::ConvertEpContextNodes MIGraphXExecutionProvider: OrtEp::Compile() returned a NULL EPContext node.` and on 1.23.x ORT, `Failed to compile model: Fatal error: com.microsoft:MGXKernel_graph_main_8923502235690979284_0(-1) is not a registered function/op`).

### Describe scenario use case

The use case here would be to enable an application to pre-emptively determine if the EPs on the device where they are running support compilation (without having to try it and deal with the errors). This would enable writing slightly more general code without having to handle IHV-specific variances.

Research direction

Start by tracing the EP compilation path and the OrtEp::Compile() interface, using the reported ep_plugin_provider_interfaces.cc failure as an entry point. Determine how an application could query compilation support before attempting compilation, then verify that the result distinguishes providers such as MIGraphX and prevents the reported errors.
