Moment representation and interpolation at fixed footrule

Lemma 3.2 and the interpolation step of Corollary 1.2 use no regularity assumption beyond being a copula. Optimal boundary constructions are pending.

The classical quadratic upper envelope (equations (16)-(17)), before the article's strictly sharper transport correction is imposed.
