Honor engine knobs across simulators, de-dupe odds, unify config UI
Two problems addressed:

1. Favorites' P(1st) was too sharp (e.g. NHL top teams ~20% vs ~12% implied).
   - The NHL simulator hardcoded its parity factor (1000) and ignored the
     season config's parityFactor, so the knob meant to flatten the
     distribution did nothing. It also re-blended raw futures odds into every
     game on top of the odds->Elo conversion, double-counting the same signal.
   - NHL now reads parityFactor/iterations/seasonGames/overtimeRate from config
     and no longer re-blends odds per game (odds enter once, via the central
     odds->Elo resolver). Honoring parity 2500 flattens a top team from ~29% to
     ~13% title odds.

2. "Season Config" and "Input Policy" were two forms over the same stored
   object that didn't reflect each other, and the engine-knob half was inert
   for many simulators.
   - Every simulator now reads its engine knobs (iterations everywhere;
     parityFactor for all Elo-based sims) from the merged config, passed in by
     the runner via the Simulator interface. Defaults equal the former
     hardcoded constants, so behavior is unchanged unless a season overrides.
   - The admin simulator page is now a single "Simulator Configuration" card
     with structured Engine and Input-derivation sections (profile-driven, so
     each sport shows only the knobs it honors) plus an Advanced raw-JSON
     escape hatch — all writing the same config.

Also: centralized the duplicated configNumber helpers into config-access.ts;
the central odds->Elo resolver now maps onto the configured Elo floor/ceiling
so those bounds set the odds-derived spread (a real flattening dial).
