Add comprehensive test coverage for math/lp and math/polynomial modules (#7877)

* Initial plan

* Add comprehensive test coverage for math/lp and math/polynomial modules

Co-authored-by: NikolajBjorner <3085284+NikolajBjorner@users.noreply.github.com>

* Finalize test coverage improvements with corrected implementations

Co-authored-by: NikolajBjorner <3085284+NikolajBjorner@users.noreply.github.com>

* Fix compilation errors in test files

- Fix algebraic_numbers.cpp: Simplified tests to use basic algebraic operations without polynomial manager dependencies
- Fix polynomial_factorization.cpp: Corrected upolynomial::factors usage and API calls
- Fix nla_intervals.cpp: Changed 'solver' to 'nla::core' and fixed lar_solver constructor
- Fix monomial_bounds.cpp: Updated class names and method calls to match current NLA API

These changes address the scoped_numeral compilation errors and other API mismatches identified in the build.

* Fix monomial bounds test assertions to use consistent values
