Clarify dataviz analyst agents handle simple single-file data apps

Updated both Claude and Copilot agent descriptions to make it clear that
the holoviz-dataviz-analyst agents are for quick, simple data apps and
reports, normally in a single file. This distinguishes them from the
holoviz-dataapp-architect agent which handles complex multi-file production
applications.
