fix(places): address review, and merge places GIAS spells more than one way
Two findings from review on #121, plus a third the review prompted.

The cap at three authorities silently dropped the fourth in exactly the case
where the information matters most — a genuinely fragmented place — and
contradicted the stated goal of naming every authority a place sits in. It is
gone. The share rule was always the real limit and already bounds the list at
ten. Measured against the live corpus, one town would have been truncated
today: LONDON, split evenly between Hackney, Lambeth, Westminster and
Lewisham.

parent_authority used mode() while authorities used value_counts(), and on an
exact tie pandas does not guarantee the two pick the same name, so the 301
could have pointed somewhere other than the authority named first on the page.
The parent is now derived from authorities[0]: one computation, one answer.
It also inherits the sentinel filter, so a place can no longer redirect to
/schools/authority/does-not-apply.

Chasing the truncation case surfaced a worse bug. Places were grouped by raw
town value, but the registry is keyed by slug, and GIAS spells the same place
several ways. Five town slugs come from more than one spelling: "London"
(1,819 schools) and "LONDON" (12) both slugify to `london`, so the later group
simply overwrote the earlier one — /schools/london could have shown twelve
schools, silently, depending on row order. Weston-super-Mare was split 14/19
across two spellings and Newcastle-under-Lyme across three. Grouping is now by
slug, and the display name is the most common spelling.
