Refactor geometric distribution to use partials_propagator

Replace neg_binomial_* delegation with a full autodiff implementation
per PR #3299 review. All four functions compute analytic partials on
Eigen arrays directly, with explicit boundary handling for theta=0,
theta=1, n=0, n=INT_MAX. Tests: 180/180 autodiff + 8/8 prim pass.
