verification: activate the two shell benchmark cases (#106)

The Scordelis-Lo roof and the pinched cylinder had their published
references cited but no recipe, because mesh.block's 2D form is planar
and cannot build a curved patch. Both are now active: the mesh is
written node by node (mesh.node.add / mesh.element.add, the route
docs/verification.md allows), the same cylinder patch the solver's own
benchmarks.rs builds in code, with the quarter/eighth symmetry planes,
the rigid diaphragm and the published load.

- scordelis-lo-roof-shell: 16x16 flat quad4 (MITC4) shells, R = 25,
  t = 0.25, self-weight 90 per area; u_z at the free-edge mid-span
  -0.3024 within 2% (ours -0.29901009815961804, 1.12% low).
- pinched-cylinder: 32x32 flat quad4 shells, R = 300, t = 3, a quarter
  of the unit pinch; u under the load -1.8248e-5 within 2% (ours
  -1.803845342860719e-05, 1.15% low).

Each README carries the generator (so the recipe is reproducible), the
refinement study the tolerance reason cites, and how the reference was
cited before. pinched-hemisphere and mh-twisted-beam now say what they
actually wait for: a doubly curved or helical shell mesh written node
by node, not missing shell elements.
