refactor: reduce contour function complexity to meet QADS standards (#406)

## Summary
- Refactored `contour_filled` and `add_contour_filled` functions to meet
QADS line count standards
- Both functions reduced from 65 lines to 22 lines (well under 50-line
target)
- Extracted reusable helper subroutines for cleaner code organization

## Changes
1. **Created `convert_contour_arrays` helper subroutine**
   - Handles conversion of input arrays to working precision
   - Manages optional levels array allocation
   - Eliminates code duplication between the two functions

2. **Created `forward_contour_filled_params` helper subroutine**
   - Encapsulates complex 16-combination parameter forwarding logic
   - Uses nested if structure for better readability
   - Maintains memory safety without merge() function

3. **Added comprehensive regression test**
   - Tests all parameter combinations for both functions
   - Ensures refactoring preserves full functionality
   - Verifies backward compatibility

## Test Results
✅ All existing tests pass
✅ New regression test covers all 16 parameter combinations
✅ No behavior changes - purely internal refactoring

## QADS Compliance
- ✅ Functions now under 50-line target (22 lines each)
- ✅ Follows CORRECTNESS > PERFORMANCE > KISS principle hierarchy
- ✅ Self-documenting helper function names
- ✅ No stubs or placeholders - production-ready code
