feat(rta): Context_Switch_Time folded into recurrence (v0.9.2)

Tier A #5 from the post-v0.9.0 reviewer audit (partial — only
Context_Switch_Time; Interrupt_Overhead per ISR firing is the
companion follow-up). v0.8.x emitted a STPA-REQ-022 advisory if
Context_Switch_Time was unset, but never folded the value into
the Tindell-Clark / Joseph-Pandya recurrence when it WAS set —
silently optimistic.

Now: each thread's WCET is inflated by `2 × Context_Switch_Time`
(one preemption-in + one preemption-out per Buttazzo §7) before
entering the recurrence. The recurrence math itself
(`compute_response_time_jittered_blocking`) is unchanged, so the
existing Lean monotonicity / convergence proofs still hold. New
`OverheadInflation` Info diagnostic per thread when CS > 0.

Default unset = 0 → byte-identical to v0.8.x / v0.9.1.

REQ-RTA-008 + TEST-RTA-CONTEXT-SWITCH. 2 new RTA tests
(context_switch_inflates_wcet,
no_context_switch_byte_identical_to_v091).
