Fix C++ implementation loading and function availability

- Add useDynLib directive to NAMESPACE for proper C++ library linking
- Export C++ functions (process_district_all_vars, simple_smoothing_single_var, gaussian_smoothing_single_var)
- Improve .onLoad function with better error handling and C++ availability checking
- Fix critical bug in C++ weighted calculation (weighted_sum_all division)
- Update smooth_variables function to properly check for C++ availability
- Add informative messages about which implementation is being used
- Ensure robust fallback to R implementation when C++ fails

The package now successfully loads C++ functions and automatically uses them for spatial smoothing, with automatic fallback to R implementation for maximum reliability.
