Team comparison: dumbbell

An alternative to plot_team_comparison()’s grouped bars for exactly two teams: one connected pair of dots per set-piece type instead of two bars sharing a baseline. The connecting line makes the gap between teams the thing your eye measures directly – useful when the story is “how much do these two teams differ,” not just “which bar is longer.”
