fix(optimal_control,risk_metrics): stabilize solvers + statistically sound tests

Five deterministic test failures rooted out (all pre-existing on main):

- mrsjd + regime_switching + hjb_solver: pointwise Jacobi iteration on the
  stationary HJB diverges (sigma^2/dx^2 >> rho, residual -> NaN). Replaced
  with implicit-in-space Kushner-Dupuis upwind discretisation solved by the
  Thomas algorithm (unconditionally stable); removed now-unneeded
  under-relaxation; NaN-safe convergence checks (!(r < tol)).
- hjb_solver: equation had no source term, so V = 0 and the V' = +-1
  boundaries were grid artifacts. Added quadratic tracking payoff and
  singular-control obstacle projection -> symmetric boundaries.
- regime_switching two_regime_model: zero running term made cross-regime
  value comparison meaningless; running payoff f(x) = x makes the
  higher-drift regime strictly more valuable.
- ou_estimator test: stderr(kappa) ~ sqrt(2*kappa/T) was 140% of kappa with
  n=500 and an unseeded rng; now seeded StdRng + T ~ 80y (stderr ~ 22%).
- hurst test: fixture passed alternating +-1 LEVELS; R/S input convention
  is the increment series -> seeded iid +-1 increments.
- hmm doctest: placeholder example executed empty data -> rust,no_run.

Tests: 139/139 (129 lib + 10 doc).
