Influence/Monotone.lean: every Boolean function on the hypercube can be replaced by a monotone one with the same expectation and no larger total influence (Theorem 9.10), via the shift operators and a maximal-potential argument.

Influence/Threshold.lean: the p-biased hypercube, Russo's lemma d/dp E_p[f] = I^p(f) for monotone Boolean f (Theorem 9.15), and Corollary 9.16, I^p(f) <= sqrt(n E_p[f] / (p (1 - p))).

This PR corresponds to #85

Add a References section to the Influence modules, prefix the numbered
results with BLM, and drop labels that only made sense in the source notes.

Match the existing HDP citations, which use the abbreviation inline
without a References section.
