Participants are created with externalId=null by default, causing the
LLWS simulator to crash at runtime. Fix in two parts:
1. Name-prefix inference: if externalId is null, participants whose
name starts with "US " or equals "US" are assigned to the US side;
all others are assigned to Intl. Pools are always randomized when
inferred (no pool suffix).
2. Admin UI: add an inline-editable "Group" column to the Manage
Participants page so admins can explicitly set externalId for any
simulator that uses it (LLWS, and future cases like NHL conferences).

* Add LLWS bracket Monte Carlo simulator
Simulates the 20-team Little League World Series: pool play round-robin
(5 teams/pool, top 2 advance) → 4-team double-elimination per side
(US and International) → consolation game → World Series final.
Uses championship futures odds as the sole win-probability signal.
Pool assignments are auto-detected from externalId: bare "US"/"Intl"
randomizes pools each simulation (pre-draw mode); "US:A"/"Intl:B" etc.
uses fixed assignments (post-draw mode). Sides can differ.

* Fix oxlint violations in LLWS simulator
- Replace non-null assertions with null-safe access (! → ?? / optional chaining)
- Replace .sort() with .toSorted() per linting rules
- Promote bump() to simulate() scope and pass it into simulateSideBracket,
removing the need to pass counts into that function
