Measure Preserve's splice-alignment geometry on low-frequency material

A splice can only relocate by [0.75, 1.25]*window, so periods with no multiple
in that interval never phase-align — at 50 ms, f < 16 Hz and 26.7-32 Hz.
Harness runs by hand; too slow to gate.

// Measurement harness for the Preserve engine's behaviour on LOW-FREQUENCY material.
// Reports numbers; it renders no perceptual verdict and changes no DSP.
//
// The question it answers: a splice relocates the read tap by a nominal `window` refined by a
// correlation search over +/- maxLag, so the reachable relocation distances form ONE bounded
// interval. Phase-aligning a splice needs a WHOLE NUMBER OF SOURCE PERIODS inside that
// interval, and for some periods none exists — a geometric limit, separate from the
// splice-CADENCE inequality. Both now sit in time_stretch.h; this is what measured them.
//
// Two findings shaped the sections below and are worth knowing before reading the output:
// whether an unreachable multiple accumulates into a DETUNE or only wobbles the phase depends
// on whether the nearest multiple misses on one side or straddles (a straddle cancels in the
// mean); and PITCH IS THE WRONG THING TO MEASURE HERE — the fundamental usually survives, so
// the load-bearing metric is energy outside it. Zero-crossing counting in particular reports a
// wrong period on renders whose fundamental is provably correct, which is section C.
//
// Measures, at both 44.1k and 48k geometry:
// A. the reachable relocation interval, observed rather than derived (jump/lag/frac off
// every SpliceEvent), and the alignment-reachability predicate over frequency.
// B. Voice-level renders at 30 Hz: the shipped default path, then transposition at rate 1.0
// and rate 0.5/2.0 with none, then a 20-200 Hz sweep to locate the turnover.
// C. the P=500-frame (~88 Hz) case the pitch_shift floor probe fails on, measured with three
// independent pitch estimators to separate the two mechanisms from a measurement artifact.
// D. a window sweep at 30 Hz — what a larger window would buy, and what it would cost.
// E. alignable frequencies under identical conditions, without which D and B have no scale.
