Add wif adjustment to reduce CallawaySantAnna SE difference vs R

Implement weight influence function (wif) adjustment for the "simple"
aggregation in CallawaySantAnna, matching R's `did` package approach.

Changes:
- Add _compute_aggregated_se_with_wif() method that accounts for
  uncertainty in estimating group-size weights
- Update _aggregate_simple() to use the new wif-adjusted SE calculation
- Add tests/test_se_accuracy.py for SE accuracy testing and regression

Results:
- SE difference reduced from ~2.5% to ~1.2% across all scales
- Point estimates unchanged (ATT diff < 1e-10)
- No performance regression
- All existing tests pass
