feat: implement variable team matchups with partner rotation

- Add manual team entry for permanent teams in Matchups tab
- Rename 'Teams' tab to 'Matchups' for clarity
- Implement partner rotation strategies (minimize_repeat, maximize_even, elo_based)
- Track partnerships across rounds to minimize repeat pairings
- Fix unit tests for team configuration and ELO calculations
- Add E2E test for 9+ participant tournaments with variable matchups

Key changes:
- TeamsSection.tsx: Added router.refresh(), manual team entry, and matchup display
- schedule-generator.ts: Enhanced generateVariableRoundRobin to track partnerships
- team-generator.ts: Fixed partnership frequency tracking across rounds
- API routes: Updated to support variable team durability with rotation strategies
