* feat: add a dedicated max operator to score formulas
Expressing a maximum in a score formula required spelling out the
arithmetic identity `(a + b + |a - b|) / 2`. That is easy to get wrong
(the `/ 2` is load-bearing), only works for two operands, and mentions
each operand twice, so the scorer evaluates every sub-tree twice per
candidate point.
`max` is variadic, mirroring `sum` and `mult`:
{"max": ["$score", {"mult": [0.5, "popularity"]}]}
Unlike `sum` and `mult`, `max` has no identity element for the empty
case, so an empty operand list is rejected at parse time rather than
folding to -infinity and scoring every point with a non-finite value.
The check lives in `ExpressionInternal::parse_and_convert`, which every
entry point passes through, and the Edge FFI additionally rejects it at
construction time to match how that crate validates elsewhere.
The result needs no `is_finite` check: unlike `log10`, `exp`, `div`,
`sqrt` and `pow`, `max` cannot produce a non-finite value from finite
inputs, so it follows the existing `sum` convention.

* test: cover max error propagation and datetime operands
An operand that fails must fail the whole expression rather than being
passed over in favour of a finite sibling. Covered with the failure both
before and after the finite operand: `mult` short-circuits on zero and
so can skip evaluating later operands, and this pins down that `max`
must not grow a similar shortcut that would swallow an error.
Also covers `max` over datetime operands, which reach the scorer through
a separate conversion to seconds, so that "score by whichever timestamp
is newer" is verified rather than assumed.
