fix(rules): apply the power attack penalty to melee touch attacks

PF1e (CRB Power Attack): "take a -1 penalty on all melee attack rolls ...
The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks." A melee touch (kind
"touch", no range increment) is a melee attack, so _power_attack_amt now
rides its attack and confirmation rolls; the +2X/+3X damage bonus stays
gated on kind == "melee". Ranged attacks and rays are unaffected. The
test that pinned the old melee-weapon-only simplification was rewritten to
lock the corrected behavior; README and abilities.py updated.
