Fix savings income calibration to match ONS D.41g (#229)
* Update savings_interest_income uprating factors based on ONS D.41g data
Updated uprating factors for savings_interest_income to reflect actual
household interest income growth from ONS National Accounts (D.41g series).
ONS household interest received shows dramatic growth:
- 2022: £12.7bn
- 2023: £38.9bn
- 2024: £54.5bn
This is due to the significant rise in interest rates since 2022.
The previous uprating factors (1.0 to 1.38) substantially understated
this growth. New factors now reflect ONS data:
- 2022: 1.58 (up from 1.09)
- 2023: 4.87 (up from 1.15)
- 2024: 6.82 (up from 1.19)
- 2025+: 6.88 (stable, up from 1.22-1.38)
This addresses issue #228 - savings income tax base was too low
to match OBR costings.

* Scale savings income calibration targets to match ONS D.41g
Update incomes_projection.csv savings_interest_income_amount values
to match ONS National Accounts D.41g (household interest income):
| Year | SPI-based | ONS D.41g | Scale |
|------|-----------|-----------|-------|
| 2022 | £2.7bn | £12.7bn | 4.6x |
| 2023 | £2.9bn | £40.5bn | 13.7x |
| 2024 | £3.0bn | £54.5bn | 18.4x |
| 2025 | £3.1bn | £55.0bn | 17.6x |
| 2026 | £3.3bn | £52.0bn | 15.8x |
| 2027 | £3.5bn | £48.0bn | 13.5x |
| 2028 | £3.8bn | £45.0bn | 11.8x |
| 2029 | £4.1bn | £42.0bn | 10.2x |
The SPI-based targets only captured taxable savings above the Personal
Savings Allowance. ONS D.41g captures total household interest income,
which is the appropriate base for modeling savings tax rate changes.
This should bring PolicyEngine's savings tax yield estimates closer to
OBR costings (£0.5bn from 2pp increase vs our current £0.02bn).

* Calibrate savings income from ONS instead of SPI
- Remove savings_interest_income from SPI-based INCOME_VARIABLES in loss.py and incomes_projection.py
- Add ONS National Accounts D.41g household interest data as new calibration target
- Target now labeled as ons/ prefix to reflect true source
- Fixes underestimation of savings income (~£3bn SPI vs ~£55bn ONS)

* Revert savings income changes - will fix in policyengine-uk instead
Reverting the manual uprating factor changes and loss.py calibration
changes. The proper fix is to add a new uprating parameter in
policyengine-uk based on ONS D.41g household interest data, rather
than manually editing generated files here.

* Restore savings income calibration to ONS D.41g targets
Restores the calibration changes (keeping uprating_factors.csv reverted):
- Add ONS National Accounts D.41g household interest income calibration target
- Remove savings_interest_income from SPI-based calibration (SPI underestimates)
The uprating is now handled properly in policyengine-uk PR #1412.
