Add pd: peering-degree Blend Monte-Carlo graph simulator
Static-graph simulator quantifying how a node's peering degree trades off
propagation speed, adversary exposure, deanonymization, and reliability in the
Blend network. Scales to 1e6 nodes (sparse CSR + sampled Dijkstra); the
adversary and deanonymization metrics are exact at every N.

Model (ms): seeded d-regular peer graph (matching-union), Blend cascade
(sender -> blend_hops timed-release mix relays -> final flood), geographic link
base + exponential transport jitter, per-node processing lag, free-running
release-clock mixing.

Metrics:
- propagation: full-delay mean/p50/p90/p99, path/broadcast split, coverage times
- reliability: message success-delivery-rate ~ (1-unresponsive_frac)^blend_hops
  and flood coverage, with unresponsive nodes modelled as routing holes
- adversary (exact): observed/eclipsed fractions, random + worst-case placement
- deanonymization (exact): P(whole blend path adversarial) ~ f_adv^blend_hops,
  and full deanonymization (path adversarial AND honest sender peered with an
  adversary) = deanon_rate * observed_frac

Deterministic blake2b seed streams, three parquet tables, joblib parallelism,
memguard, an analytic verify harness, 50 unit tests, and an auto-installing
Makefile.
