Fix two Cube measures that were invalid SQL

Hand-verifying the measures against the fixtures on lin001, per the Phase 5
gate. Two of them had never executed anywhere, and both failed outright rather
than returning a wrong number - which is the good version of this, but they
failed at the point an operator asks a question, not at review.

  - time_weighted_avg put LEAD() inside SUM(). Postgres rejects that flatly:
    "aggregate function calls cannot contain window function calls". The per
    sample duration now comes from the cube's source query, which changes
    sql_table to sql, and the measure just sums value * duration over duration.
    The last sample of each tag gets a NULL duration and SUM skips it, which is
    correct - how long it stood is not yet known.

    This is the measure that matters most later. On the regular one-minute
    fixtures it agrees with avg_value to thirteen decimal places
    (42.45934027777778 against 42.45934027777775), which proves it is wired up
    and proves nothing about imh, where the deadband makes samples irregular
    and the two will not agree. Re-verify it there.

  - p95_value applied the quality filter through a Cube measure `filters:`
    block, which lands outside the aggregate and cannot work on an ordered-set
    aggregate: "column process_values.quality must appear in the GROUP BY
    clause". Folded into the CASE inside PERCENTILE_CONT, whose NULL handling
    does the exclusion.

Also: the priority dimension said only SPILL and PUMP_TRIP are priority 1,
while the data has LEVEL_SIGNAL_FAULT at priority 1 too - correctly, losing the
level signal on a well that can spill is a priority 1 condition. That comment is
the line an engineer reads when checking a priority_1_count, so it disagreeing
with the data matters more than its length suggests.

eval cases H24 and H25 record the two failures, added before the fix.

Verified against hand-written SQL on the same pinned windows: p95_value
61.104999999999976 and time_weighted_avg 42.45934027777778 both match to the
floating point tail, as do sample_count, avg_value, max_value, min_value,
seconds_above_high_level_alarm (7680 = 128 samples x 60) and every measure in
alarms and operations.

1 highest, 3 lowest. Priority 1 is SPILL, PUMP_TRIP and
LEVEL_SIGNAL_FAULT - losing the level signal on a well that can spill
is a priority 1 condition, and the fixtures already treat it as one.
This comment previously named only SPILL and PUMP_TRIP and disagreed
with the data, which matters because this is the line an engineer
reads when checking a priority_1_count.

Time-weighted average - each sample weighted by how long it stood.
This is the honest average on deadband-compressed history. Verify it
against imh by hand at the Phase 5 gate before trusting it in prose.
Time-weighted average - each sample weighted by how long it stood,
from sample_duration_seconds in the cube's source query above. This
is the honest average on deadband-compressed history, and on regular
fixture data it agrees with avg_value to a rounding error - which is
exactly why it must be re-verified against imh, where the two will
NOT agree. Bad and sentinel samples are excluded in the CASE rather
than by a measure filter, for the same reason as p95_value below.
