Add masking support to ParentIndependentBinarySelectionModel (#166)

* Add masking support to ParentIndependentBinarySelectionModel

Fixes #165

- Implement multiplicative masking in forward method following pattern used by other models
- Masked positions (mask=False) get multiplied by 0 in log space, resulting in selection factor of 1 after exp
- Add comprehensive unit tests covering 1D and multi-dimensional outputs, edge cases, and gradient flow
- Update docstring to document mask behavior
- Maintain backward compatibility with existing code

* Fix formatting and linting issues in test file

- Remove unused numpy import
- Fix E712 violations by using proper boolean operations (~mask instead of mask == False)
- All CI checks now pass: checkformat, lint, checktodo
- Tests continue to pass after formatting fixes
