Live mode: create a new project (new_project, qet_live_new_project)

An assistant in live mode could only work on the project already open.
new_project makes one as File > New does -- this installation's
new-folio defaults, optional title and number of folios -- and makes it
the current project, so the next request works on it. An optional
absolute path saves it at once, never over an existing file: QElectroTech
refuses, and the MCP server refuses before asking (a new never-overwrite
class in its path policy, so an "overwrite" flag cannot get round it).

Pages and links across pages already worked through scripts
(qet.addFolio, setFolioTitle, linkElements across folios); the tool's
description now says so.
