841f5efcf5 feat: distributional clustering for better grouping (Phase 1)
Inspired by Crucio's distributional matrix (ICSE 2026).
Groups symbols by context similarity instead of first-symbol.

New module: bex/distributional.py
- extract_contexts(): get (left, right) context pairs
- build_distribution_matrix(): symbol × context counts
- cluster_symbols(): agglomerative clustering by similarity
- split_by_cluster(): split sequences by cluster membership
- distributional_split(): drop-in replacement for _split_by_first_symbol

CLI: --cluster-method distributional (opt-in, first-symbol is default)

Example: 'if' and 'while' both appear before 'return'
→ first-symbol: 3 groups (if, while, return)
→ distributional: 2 groups (if/while merged, return)

23 tests pass. Full suite: 257 tests pass.
