refactor!: replace emptiness-as-sentinel with Option for results and weights

Third of the five remaining items on #23.

`add_events_with_prior` and `TimeSlice::add_events` took `Vec<Vec<f64>>` and
`Vec<Vec<Vec<f64>>>` where an empty vec meant "not supplied" — so an empty
outer vec and a genuinely empty event list were the same value, and every
reader had to know which. Both are now `Option`, and the "not supplied"
branches read as `None` arms rather than `is_empty()` checks.

Two things fell out of the change that a sentinel would have hidden:

The tie pre-check iterated `results` directly. Under `Option` it needs
`.iter().flatten()`, which makes explicit that a `None` results list has no
ties to reject — previously an empty vec silently skipped the same loop and
looked identical to "checked, found nothing".

`MismatchedShape.got` could no longer be `results.len()`, because at the point
of the error there may be no vec to take a length from. It is now computed as
`map_or(0, Vec::len)` before the error is built.

MSRV note: my first draft used let-chains for the two validations. Those need
Rust 1.88 and this crate pins 1.85 — it compiled locally on 1.98 and would
have failed only in the MSRV CI job. Rewritten with `is_some_and`, and
verified by installing 1.85.0 and building against it rather than by assuming
the removal was complete.

Breaking: `TimeSlice::add_events` is public.
