Add implementation code for all 4 improvement plan phases

Production changes:
- TravelEstimator: remove 300mi fallback, return nil on missing coords
- TripPlanningEngine: add warnings array, empty sports warning, inverted
  date range rejection, must-stop filter, segment validation gate
- GameDAGRouter: add routePreference parameter with preference-aware
  bucket ordering and sorting in selectDiverseRoutes()
- ScenarioA-E: pass routePreference through to GameDAGRouter
- ScenarioA: track games with missing stadium data
- ScenarioE: add region filtering for home games
- TravelSegment: add requiresOvernightStop and travelDays() helpers

Test changes:
- GameDAGRouterTests: +252 lines for route preference verification
- TripPlanningEngineTests: +153 lines for segment validation, date range,
  empty sports
- ScenarioEPlannerTests: +119 lines for region filter tests
- TravelEstimatorTests: remove obsolete fallback distance tests
- ItineraryBuilderTests: update nil-coords test expectation
