* solver: reference points, kinematic and distributing couplings, moments by constraint elimination

Coupled reference points get six degrees of freedom; kinematic couplings are rigid
links, distributing couplings least-squares interpolation constraints. Every
constraint row and prescribed value is eliminated master-slave (Abel-Shephard
pivot choice), so the reduced matrix stays SPD; no coupling gives the old
elimination bit for bit. Verified: rigid motion of a coupled block, clamping
through a point, distributing tension vs pressure, bending and tube torsion.

* solver: simplify constraint elimination and reference point plumbing

Rows combine by one sort; T_f transposed once; K and M reduced in one pass on a
shared pattern; prescribed motion computed once; reference point loads and BCs go
through Resolved like node ones (Mesh::label_dofs); one dof-direction rule;
StepResult::locate for probes; dead Csr::restrict removed.

* solver: refuse oversized reductions before allocating them

A held distributing coupling point makes a dense (3N)^2 block; estimate it from
the constraint rows and refuse it against the factorization's memory budget
with a clear message, before anything is built. Other reductions with
dependents count their entries first (stopping at the budget) and reserve
fallibly.
