Adds two new DPMechanism subclasses for differentially private selection from a score vector: - DPExponentialMechanism: Standard exponential mechanism, preferred under zCDP accounting (tight conversion rho = epsilon^2 / 8). - DPPermuteAndFlip: Permute-and-flip mechanism (McKenna & Sheldon, NeurIPS 2020), which offers expected utility >= exponential mechanism (up to 2x improvement). Under PLD-based accounting, permute-and-flip uses a Laplace privacy loss distribution, giving tighter composition than the exponential mechanism's black-box epsilon-DP bound. Under zCDP, the standard conversion rho = epsilon^2 / 2 applies. Both take a pre-computed score vector (not raw data) and return the index of the selected candidate. PiperOrigin-RevId: 933065255
