`K` is the one type parameter people change, and it was last. Naming a
history in a struct field meant writing all four to say one thing:
struct Ladder { history: History<i64, ConstantDrift, NullObserver, String> }
struct Analysis<'h> { joint: Joint<'h, i64, ConstantDrift, NullObserver, &'static str> }
Now:
struct Ladder { history: History<String> }
struct Analysis<'h> { joint: Joint<'h> }
`History<K, T, D, O>`, all four defaulted. Bounds may reference later
parameters, so `D: Drift<T> = ConstantDrift` is legal in third position.
`Joint` gains the same defaults, so `Joint<'h, String>` spells it.
72 call sites swapped, and the reorder makes most of them shorter: 18
now read `History<String>` and the `&'static str` ones read `History`.
The two turbofished builders shrink from
`HistoryBuilder::<Untimed, _, _, String>::new()` to
`HistoryBuilder::<String, Untimed>::new()`.
`Joint` keeps `O` structurally, defaulted rather than removed. #72 notes
it never touches the observer, which is true — but it borrows the whole
`&'h History<K, T, D, O>` and calls `History::resolve_terms`, so dropping
the parameter means either a view type or moving that method off
`History`. The default already buys the entire user-visible benefit,
which was the spelling.

Two accessors answered a question about a key the history had never seen
with a well-formed value indistinguishable from a real answer.
`log_evidence_for` filter_map'd unknown keys away. An empty target list
means "no restriction" downstream, so a list of *entirely* unknown keys
returned the whole-history evidence: measured on a two-cohort fixture,
`log_evidence_for(["typo"])` returned exactly `log_evidence()`. On the
one workload it is documented for — leave-one-out cross-validation —
that is the un-held-out score, a plausible number that silently
invalidates the comparison it was computed for. It now returns
`Err(UnknownKey)` naming the offending position.
`learning_curve` and `filtered_learning_curve` returned an empty `Vec`
both for a typo'd key and for a competitor who is registered but has not
played yet. They now return `Option`, so `None` is "never heard of it"
and `Some(vec![])` is "known, no appearances".
Tests carry a control case in each direction, so they cannot pass by
everything returning the same thing.
Closes#66, closes#70.
