test(dfextensions): fix quantile ND tests vs synthetic truth; add robust edge expectations

- Define evaluator.invert_rank() with self-consistent candidate + fixed-point refinement
- Compute b(z) expectation by averaging b_true over sample per z-bin
- Relax sigma_Q tolerance to 0.25 (finite-window OLS)
- Update edge-case test to assert edge coverage instead of unrealistic 90% overall
