rugnux: warn when --min-image-cc is ignored; drop a dead robust estimator

--min-image-cc is consumed only by the stills merge (MergeOnTheFly); RotationScaleMerge
never reads it. On rotation data it was accepted and then silently did nothing, so a run
that looked filtered was not. It now says so.

FitProfileRadius_MAD had zero callers - a robust twin sitting uncalled next to the
non-robust estimator that is actually used is a trap, so it goes.

Neither changes any result: verified on a rotation dataset (indexing rate, cell, space
group and merge statistics identical, warning emitted).

Context for anyone tempted to wire that estimator in: I tested exactly that today and it
is NOT justified. The population it would clip is truncated by construction - a spot is
only marked `indexed` when its fractional-Miller norm is inside the indexing tolerance -
and is measurably shorter-tailed than Gaussian (kurtosis 2.85). Across four serial-stills
datasets a MAD-clipped variant only narrowed the prediction window (-17% integrated
reflections everywhere), which was neutral on strong data and destroyed real signal on
weak data (one set lost completeness 96.0 -> 93.9%), with R-free 0.3753 -> 0.3767.
