Sub-optimal Join Order Identification with L1-error

Summary: Introduces L1-error, a permutation distance over subplan cardinalities with the same join count, weighting errors by magnitude and prioritizing small multi-way joins. Used within a standard decision tree, L1-error accurately identifies sub-optimal plans across four benchmarks, with gains when combined with Q-error as a low-overhead composite feature.
