CLI: add --info, --export-bom and --check-elements verification tools

Extends the headless command-line interface with three read-only tools
aimed at validating projects and element libraries (useful for batch
import / migration pipelines):

  qelectrotech --info           <project.qet> [output.json]
  qelectrotech --export-bom     <project.qet> <output.csv>
  qelectrotech --check-elements <element.elmt | directory>

- --info dumps a structural summary as JSON straight from QET's loaded
  model: per-diagram element / conductor counts, page size, and the
  number of unconnected ("free") terminals, plus project totals. Because
  it uses the real loader it reports what the editor actually sees.

- --export-bom writes a bill of materials (one row per element) as CSV,
  querying the project's own element_nomenclature_view (the same source
  as the GUI BOM export). updateDB() is called first so the database is
  populated in a headless run.

- --check-elements validates one .elmt file, or every .elmt under a
  directory (recursively), against the element schema: XML well-formed,
  root <definition type="element">, a usable bounding box, and terminal
  count. Reports OK / WARN / FAIL per file and a summary; exit code is
  non-zero if any file fails. Verified against the full bundled
  collection (8483 elements): 0 false failures, agreeing with QET's own
  loader (e.g. a negative-height element it tolerates is a WARN, not a
  FAIL).

run() is restructured to handle the differing argument arity (info takes
an optional output, check-elements takes a path rather than a project).
