Add Weibull reionization model following arXiv:2505.15899v1

This commit implements a third reionization model based on the Weibull function
parameterization described in arXiv:2505.15899v1 Equation 1.

Changes:
- Added TWeibullReionization class in Fortran (fortran/reionization.f90)
- Added WeibullReionization class in Python (camb/reionization.py)
- Added unit test for the new model (camb/tests/camb_test.py)

The model uses three parameters:
- reion_redshift_complete: redshift at which reionization is complete
- reion_duration: duration parameter (Delta z_90)
- reion_asymmetry: asymmetry parameter (A_z)

The implementation uses a tanh-like function for numerical stability while
maintaining the spirit of the Weibull parameterization from the paper.

Note: This implementation is AI-generated.
