Add NaN filtering and robust fit fallback logic to GroupByRegressor

- Updated `process_group_robust` to filter NaNs in predictors, targets, and weights before fitting
- Ensured that only predictors with sufficient valid statistics are included in robust fit
- Added fallback to `LinearRegression` if `HuberRegressor` fails
- Improves reliability of `make_parallel_fit` when using `robust` option under real-world data imperfections
- Corresponding test for per-predictor `min_stat` now passes consistently
