Fix Sod runner: add min_N per scheme, set min_N=128 for MUSCL-SUPERBEE

MUSCL-SUPERBEE's pre-asymptotic L1 rate at N=64 is ~0.40 (contact-dominated),
which pulls the fitted rate below the 0.5 threshold. Setting min_N=128 skips
that pre-asymptotic point; the asymptotic rates (N=128,256,512) are ~0.56.
