Install the MCP server with QElectroTech

The MCP server (misc/qet-mcp) was only reachable from a source checkout.
It now ships with every package, next to the program, and finds that
QElectroTech and its element collection from where it sits:

- make install (Linux distributions, snap, flatpak):
  <prefix>/share/qelectrotech/mcp/qet_mcp.py, executable, with its README.
- Windows installer: a new "AI assistant (MCP)" component (on by default,
  ~200 KB), installed to <folder>\mcp. The workflow stages files/mcp, so
  the portable folder and the MSI, which packs all of files/, carry it too.

The server learns the Windows layout (<root>/mcp beside <root>/bin, whose
program is QElectroTech.exe, and <root>/elements), in addition to
<prefix>/share/qelectrotech/mcp. A copy saved anywhere else, even beside
some bin/ folder, is not taken for an installation.

The installer strings are given in all 29 installer languages: French
translated, the others in English until translated, which is what NSIS
would fall back to anyway but without its warning 6040 per language.

Checked: make install into a scratch prefix, then from the installed
script with nothing configured and no qelectrotech on PATH, an SVG export
and a qet_edit placing a common:// element both succeeded. makensis 3.10
compiles the installer with 0 warnings before and after (removing the
French description gives warning 6040), and the installer contains
mcp/qet_mcp.py. Suite 274/274 none skipped; each layout check was
removed in turn and a test failed. Snap/flatpak: installed by the same
CMake rule; launching their QElectroTech from outside is untested.
