feat: Add BigFrames.bigquery.st_regionstats method

This commit adds the `BigFrames.bigquery.st_regionstats` method, which allows users to compute statistics for a raster band within a given geography.

The implementation includes:
- A new `StRegionStatsOp` in `bigframes/operations/geo_ops.py`.
- Compiler implementations for both the SQLGlot and Ibis backends.
- A unit test with a SQL snapshot.
- A code sample in `samples/snippets/wildfire_risk.py` that demonstrates the use of the new function.
