Split estimate_acint in two private functions

[tovrstra]

This is an internal reorganization of estimate_acint. Having separate functions for the frequency scan and the marginalization is helpful for methodological testing.

Pull request overview

This PR refactors the estimate_acint function by extracting its internal logic into two separate private functions for better modularity and methodological testing. The main function now delegates to _scan_frequencies for the frequency scanning phase and _marginalize_properties for the marginalization phase. Additionally, the helper function _finalize_props is renamed to _finalize_properties for consistency.

Key Changes

• Split estimate_acint into two private functions: _scan_frequencies (performs frequency cutoff scan) and _marginalize_properties (computes weighted averages)
• Renamed _finalize_props to _finalize_properties for naming consistency

@gozdetoraman Could you check whether this all makes sense in line with how we explained things in the papers? I think this better reflects how the algorithm works, and it also allows from some more validation of our assumptions. (I'll discuss this up later.)

Suggested change

	See :func:`estimate_acint` for parameter descriptions other than `history`.
	See :func:`estimate_acint` for parameter descriptions, except for `history`.

Thanks for the improvements! Indeed this matches better with the descriptions in the papers, just made some small suggestions for the docstrings.

Thanks for the suggestions. Will merge soon.
