feat(prediction): add bootstrap confidence intervals with uncertainty quantification
- Add bootstrap resampling (1000 iterations) for cycle length CI computation - Compute 80% and 95% prediction intervals with asymmetric bounds - Add confidence score (0-1) based on sample size, regularity, and recency - Handle edge cases: <2 cycles (wide defaults), irregular cycles (asymmetric) - Preserve all existing behavior (new fields are additive) Closes #180
