Description
## Summary
Add Arkansas age-65 or disabled homeowner property tax relief.
## Why add this
- AARP and Arkansas DFA identify this as statewide senior homeowner relief.
- It appears missing from `policyengine-us`.
## Modeling notes
- This is an assessed-value freeze rather than a direct rebate.
- It belongs in the comparison inventory, but it is not a top-tier first modeling target.
- If implemented, treat it as a freeze-style property tax benefit rather than a simple current-year credit.
## Likely inputs
- `age`
- homeownership / principal residence status
- `assessed_property_value`
- prior/base-year value information if full freeze mechanics are modeled
