vmec-jax v0.0.17

Highlights

• Refresh QS optimization budget probe controls for optimizer method, trial-scan policy, SciPy trust-region settings, and target-helicity seed testing.
• Make the QA standalone optimization visibly apply the reviewed target-helicity mode-1 seed so short budget probes escape the zero-transform branch.
• Update optimization documentation and tests to describe the visible seed-conditioning policy and budget-probe knobs.
