Builds on #5317. Its commits are included in this diff and merge first; review only the last commit here.

What this does

Scales well connection factors for wells perforating fracture cells by the fracture porosity,
at the single property choke point, so every connection-factor consumer inherits it.

Why

The effective fracture permeability is scaled by fracture porosity unless the run disables it.
Without this, a well completed in a fracture cell would be given a connection factor computed
from the unscaled permeability — inconsistent with the transmissibilities around it.

Behavior impact

None for flow — the keywords are still rejected. Within opm-common, connection factors for
fracture cells in a dual-continuum deck now carry the scaling.

Testing

Connection-factor ratio cases, including DUALPERM with NODPPM.

Requirements and limitations

Numerical aquifer cells are deliberately exempt: their properties come from the aquifer
definition, so there is no deck permeability to scale.
