feat(matlab): add Satterthwaite DF + honest random-slope test to LME reports

Every fitlme-based report (lme_*, paper_*, phase_*, and the variations'
analyze.m) now shows, per effect: residual-DF p, Satterthwaite-DF p, and --
for the interaction -- an HONEST test from a per-animal random-SLOPE model
(day|rat), whose Satterthwaite DF collapses toward the animal count.

New: tdcs_random_slope_interaction.m (shared helper). Wired into tdcs_lme,
tdcs_paper_lme, tdcs_phase_lme, variation_analyze; SUMMARY.csv gains
interaction_p_satt / interaction_p_rs. Regenerated all results/, variations/,
matched-effort outputs.

Key point this surfaces: Satterthwaite ~= residual on the random-INTERCEPT
model (the slope's error is at session level), so it does NOT fix
pseudoreplication; the random-slope model does. Effect: full-range mergeA2
interaction 0.009 -> 0.75 (collapses); unmerge_d0_5 0.015 -> 0.13 (n.s.);
the pooled-control early windows survive honestly (naive_a2_d0_5 0.001 ->
0.028; naive_boxa_d0_5 0.003 -> 0.036). Suite 42/42.

HONEST LME (per-animal random slope, day|rat): interaction F(1,9.7)=6.65, p=0.02815
(Satterthwaite DF ~= residual on this random-intercept model; the random-slope
model above is the honest learning-rate test -- DF collapses toward the animal count.)
INTERPRETATION: stim x day interaction SIGNIFICANT positive -- treatment improves FASTER (benefit accumulates) (p=0.001073, slope diff=+6.96)
