demo: Illinois edge-search -- demos auto-find the strongest coherent steer

Per wassname: fixed-step sweeps are too coarse to locate where coherence breaks (word
broke somewhere in (0,0.3) but the step missed it) and the resulting table was bad.
coherent_edge() brackets a coherent/incoherent pair then does modified false-position
(Illinois) to find the coherence boundary in ~6 evals/side. steer_anchors() returns
[-C*, -C*/2, 0, +C*/2, +C*]. show_steer(Cs=None) now searches and demos those anchors, so
every demo shows the STRONGEST coherent steer both ways (plus half + baseline) instead of
hand-picked Cs. coherence margin = min(REP_MAX-rep, ans_mass-ANS_MIN).
