Proportional Odds Regression Inference for Ordinal Responses

Fits a proportional-odds (cumulative-logit) regression, via fast_ordinal_regression_with_var_cpp (see that page for the full model), for ordinal responses using the treatment indicator and, optionally, all recorded covariates as predictors. This is a full-likelihood class (likelihood_tier = "full") supporting score, gradient, and likelihood-ratio tests, plus parametric likelihood-ratio bootstrap calibration, in addition to Wald and resampling-based inference.
