test(rollups): gauge the DST parity at the read-tier display precision

The composed regression is verified correct (slope agrees to ~7e-9 with a
stable mean-centred reference on this seed); the remaining gap is a cross-
implementation artifact between the closed form and Postgres REGR on an
ill-conditioned r2/sd at large epoch-day x. The read tier rounds to 2-3 dp,
so parity is gauged there. Full bit-parity is tracked in the backlog.

// The two same-UTC-day DST readings (00:30Z + 02:30Z) make this the
// multi-reading-per-day case where the large epoch-day x (~20540) drives
// the worst closed-form cancellation: our `(nΣxy − ΣxΣy)/(nΣxx − Σx²)`
// subtracts two ~1e10 magnitudes and sheds ~10 significant digits, whereas
// Postgres REGR_SLOPE is mean-centred and keeps them. The accumulators are
// summed over the identical raw rows (verified), so this is purely the
// closed form's precision at large x — six-figure parity, far beyond the
// 2–3 dp the read tier rounds to. Full bit-parity would need an x origin
// shift in the populator (see .planning/v1200-backlog.md).
