research: S&P 600 replication of mid-cap quality sleeves (all REJECT)

Preregistered replication vs IJR, 2017-01..2026-09, 20bp decides:
quality composite +2.3%/yr (t 0.78; halves +8.0/-3.5), quality-filtered
momentum +2.2% (t 0.73); SUE and lottery-filtered momentum also REJECT,
all weaker at 40bp. Equal-weight members beat IJR (t 3.2) and every
sleeve. Decision: drop quality stock selection in mid/small caps.

Adds --universe small to fetch_us_fundamentals (IJR, name-checked CIKs),
a `which` argument to fundamentals.load_mid, and --universe small to
midcap_sleeve.
