The computations of rules for ContinuousTransition node can be improved

[albertpod]

Following the discussions during PR, @bartvanerp has identified a few places where the computations around the ContinuousTransition node can be improved.
In particular

1. If the transformation of RV a is linear, then the computation of Jacobians can be done only once.
2. There are multiple places where trace operation within ContinuousTransition can be optimized, e.g., in the computation of the average energy.

Hi! We are moving to a cleaner Epic -> Feature -> Task issue hierarchy to better organize our backlog.
This issue is currently either underspecified or not tagged appropriately.

To keep this issue open, please do the following within the next 7 days (by 25-11-2025):

1. Update/Replace: Ensure the description is clear and actionable.
2. Tag Correctly:For Tasks/Features, add the correct label (e.g., feature, task) AND include a link to the Parent Epic or Feature it belongs to.
3. For Bugs, add the Bug label. (Bugs do not require a parent link.)

Issues not updated, linked, or tagged correctly by the deadline will be closed and purged.

Thank you for helping us clean up and organize our backlog!
