feat(places): name every authority a place sits in

SW19 is mostly Merton but partly Wandsworth, and the page said only Merton.
The cause was one field doing two jobs: _parent_authority takes the modal
authority, which is right for a 301 target and wrong as a statement about
where a place is.

This is not a corner case. A quarter of viable outcodes (425 of 1,760) and a
third of viable towns (263 of 783) cross an authority boundary — Bedford the
town spans Bedford and Central Bedfordshire.

Place now carries `authorities`, every authority holding at least a tenth of
the schools and at least two of them, largest first. parent_authority stays
single and unchanged, because a redirect still needs one target.

The share threshold exists because GIAS carries postcode errors: EN6 lists two
Shropshire schools among fourteen in Hertfordshire, and a bare "any authority
present" rule would print those as though they were real. A place too small or
too fragmented to clear the threshold still names its largest, so the page
never goes silent about where it is.
