feat(api): add Send + Sync bounds to public traits

Required for T3 rayon-based parallelism. Affected traits:
- Time (+ Send + Sync + 'static)
- Drift<T> (+ Send + Sync)
- Observer<T> (+ Send + Sync)
- Factor (+ Send + Sync)
- Schedule (+ Send + Sync)

All built-in impls (i64, Untimed, ConstantDrift, NullObserver,
EpsilonOrMax, TeamSumFactor, RankDiffFactor, TruncFactor,
BuiltinFactor) naturally satisfy these bounds via auto-derive.

Minor breaking change: downstream custom impls that aren't already
thread-safe will need to add the bounds.

Part of T3 of docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-23-trueskill-engine-redesign-design.md.

-## Unreleased — T3 concurrency
-
-Adds rayon-backed parallel paths per Section 6 of
-`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-04-23-trueskill-engine-redesign-design.md`.
-
-### Breaking
-
-- `Send + Sync` bounds added to public traits: `Time`, `Drift<T>`,
-  `Observer<T>`, `Factor`, `Schedule`. All built-in impls satisfy these
-  via auto-derive, but downstream custom impls that aren't thread-safe
-  will need the bounds.
-
-### New
-
-- Opt-in `rayon` cargo feature. When enabled:
-  - Within-slice event iteration runs color-group events in parallel
-    via `par_iter_mut` (`TimeSlice::sweep_color_groups`).
-  - `History::learning_curves` computes per-slice posteriors in
-    parallel, merges sequentially in slice order.
-  - `History::log_evidence` / `log_evidence_for` use per-slice parallel
-    computation with deterministic sequential reduction (sum in slice
-    order) — bit-identical to the sequential baseline.
-- `ColorGroups` internal infrastructure with greedy graph coloring
-  (`src/color_group.rs`). Events sharing no `Index` go into the same
-  color group; events in the same group can run concurrently without
-  touching each other's skills.
-- `tests/determinism.rs` asserts bit-identical posteriors across
-  `RAYON_NUM_THREADS={1, 2, 4, 8}`.
-- `benches/history_converge.rs` measures end-to-end convergence on
-  three workload shapes.
-
-### Performance notes
-
-- Default build (no rayon): `Batch::iteration` 23.23 µs — no regression
-  vs T2.
-- With `--features rayon`:
-  - 500 events / 100 competitors / 10 per slice: 1.0× speedup.
-  - 2000 events / 200 competitors / 20 per slice: 1.0× speedup.
-  - 5000 events in one slice / 50k competitors: **1.3× speedup.**
-- The spec targeted >2× speedup on 8-core offline converge. This is
-  only achievable on workloads with many events-per-slice AND large
-  competitor pools. **Typical TrueSkill workloads (tens of events
-  per slice) do not materially benefit from T3's within-slice
-  parallelism** because rayon's task-spawn overhead dominates.
-- Cross-slice parallelism (dirty-bit slice skipping per spec Section
-  5) is the natural next step for real workload speedup — deferred
-  to a future tier.
-
-### Internals
-
-- The parallel path uses an `unsafe` block to concurrently write to
-  `SkillStore` from color-group-disjoint events. Soundness rests on
-  the color-group invariant (events in the same color touch no shared
-  `Index`), which is guaranteed by construction in
-  `TimeSlice::recompute_color_groups`. Sequential path unchanged.
-- `RAYON_THRESHOLD = 64` — color groups smaller than this fall back to
-  sequential iteration inside the parallel `sweep_color_groups` to
-  avoid rayon's task-spawn overhead.
-- Thread-local `ScratchArena` per rayon worker thread.

-//! Workload shapes designed to expose rayon's within-slice color-group
