fix(rd): 3 critical + 3 high-priority bugs from code review

Critical fixes:
- CER bandwidth formula in rdrobust.py: exponent was -1/((2p+3)(2p+4)),
  corrected to -1/((2p+3)(2p+5)) matching CCF 2020 Theorem 1 and bandwidth.py
- locrand._polynomial_residuals: crash when p=0 with covariates due to
  empty np.column_stack. Now handles p=0 gracefully.
- rd2d._signed_distance_to_vertical: sign was based on treatment status T
  (wrong for fuzzy designs), now based on position X1 relative to cutoff

High-priority fixes:
- rdrobust weights parameter: was silently ignored, now raises
  NotImplementedError with clear message
- extrapolate Wald heterogeneity test: was using arithmetic mean (biased
  when SEs differ), now uses inverse-variance weighted mean (GLS-optimal)

79 RD tests pass.
