perf(transform): optimize dim_locations spatial joins via IEJoin + country filters

Replace ABS() bbox predicates with BETWEEN in all three spatial CTEs
(nearest_padel, padel_local, tennis_nearby). BETWEEN enables DuckDB's
IEJoin (interval join) which is O((N+M) log M) vs the previous O(N×M)
nested-loop cross-join.

Add country pre-filters to restrict the left side from ~140K global
locations to ~20K rows for padel/tennis CTEs (~8 countries each).

Expected: ~50-200x speedup on the spatial CTE portion of the model.
