test: reduce test time for TestSparsePlaceholderGroupSize (#46637)
issue: #44452

## Summary
Reduce test combinations in `TestSparsePlaceholderGroupSize` to decrease
test execution time:
- `nqs`: from `[1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000]` to `[1, 100, 10000]`
- `averageNNZs`: from `[1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024,
2048]` to `[1, 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024]`

## TestSparsePlaceholderGroupSize Test Reduction

**Core Invariant:** The sparse vector NNZ estimation algorithm
(`EstimateSparseVectorNNZFromPlaceholderGroup`) must maintain accuracy
within bounded error thresholds—individual cases < 10% error and no more
than 2% of cases exceeding 5% error—across representative parameter
ranges.

**Test Coverage Optimized, Not Removed:** Test combinations reduced from
60 to 18 by pruning redundant parameter points while retaining critical
coverage: nqs now tests [1, 100, 10000] (min, mid, max) and averageNNZs
tests [1, 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024] (exponential spacing). Variant
generation logic (powers of 2 scaling) remains unchanged, ensuring error
scenarios are still exercised.

**No Behavioral Regression:** The algorithm under test is untouched;
only test case frequency decreases. The same assertions validate error
bounds are satisfied—individual assertions (`assert.Less(errorRatio,
10.0)`) and statistical assertions (`assert.Less(largeErrorRatio, 2.0)`)
remain identical, confirming that estimation quality is still verified.

**Why Safe:** Exponential spacing of removed parameters (e.g., nqs: 10,
1000 removed; averageNNZs: 2, 8, 32, 128, 512, 2048 removed) addresses
diminishing returns—intermediate values provide no new error scenarios
beyond what surrounding powers-of-2 values expose, while keeping test
execution time proportional to coverage value gained.
