Update the classify return contract.

The branch now returns "NO-DEV-LABEL", but the classify docstring still lists None. Document all five possible bucket values.

In `@tools/label-precedence.py` at line 68, Update the classify docstring to
replace the outdated None return value with "NO-DEV-LABEL" and document all five
possible bucket values, keeping the classify return behavior unchanged.

Assert the partition values, not only the marker.

These tests pass whenever the output contains PARTITION, even if the displayed population or bucket count is wrong. Assert the expected count and the sum of the 5 buckets above text, or match the complete partition line.

test_partition_line_states_the_sum by asserting the partition line’s displayed
population/count and the “sum of the 5 buckets above” text, or by matching the
