slice S-B6: glazing g_perpendicular + frame_factor lookups (Tables 6b/6c)

Replaces the two hardcoded glazing defaults (g⊥=0.63, FF=0.7) in the
cert→inputs mapper with spec-driven lookups:

  - g_perpendicular by glazing_type (Table 6b):
      single → 0.85, double 2002+ → 0.72, low-E soft → 0.63,
      secondary → 0.76, triple → 0.68. Default 0.72 when missing.
  - frame_factor by frame_material (Table 6c):
      wood/PVC/composite → 0.70, aluminium/steel/metal → 0.83.

Measured values from window_transmission_details / SapWindow.frame_factor
still take precedence. Overshading factor stays at 0.77 ("average") since
RdSAP 10 doesn't lodge a per-window overshading code.

100-cert parity probe:
  MAE 5.65 → 5.70  (flat)
  exact-match within ±1: 18% → 20%
  bias +1.13 → +1.50

Slight bias drift toward over-prediction is expected — bigger solar
gains reduce predicted heating demand. Net: the engine is now more
spec-correct (more exact matches), but composition of errors elsewhere
needs the next slice to bring bias back toward 0.
