Fix programme width default: derive from sqrt(size/proportion) (homemaker-py-can)

When a programme space has no explicit 'width' key, the fallback to
width_inside [4.0, 1.0] is geometrically impossible for small spaces
(e.g. t3 WC at 3 m²). Now compute target = sqrt(size/proportion),
sigma = max(0.1, target * size_sigma / (2 * size_target)).

Effect on 35-file corpus: 32 files score +1–307% (width quality improves
for correctly-sized small rooms); 5 files lose spurious width fail lines.
Upstream Perl fix tracked as homemaker-py-8fe.
