ispyisail eba258f6cd Add JavaScript scripting: --run and "Run Script..." (bugtracker #162)
Following up on my own comments there: a deliberately small, mostly
read-only scripting surface, exposed to scripts as a single global
`qet` object (QetScriptApi) built on QJSEngine rather than an embedded
Python interpreter -- no new toolchain to package (QJSEngine ships in
every Qt SDK QET already targets, via the Qml module), no GIL, no
version pinning, automatic reflection of the QObject-derived core
classes' own methods with no hand-written binding layer.

## What a script can do

- Read the model: project title, file path, folio count/titles,
  element/conductor counts per folio.
- Trigger the same operations the --export-* CLI flags already do
  (pdf/png/svg/cables/wires/bom/wiring/nets/links/info), plus
  set-titleblock and save -- thin wrappers around CLIExport::run(),
  reusing its already-tested logic rather than duplicating it.

Deliberately NOT in this version: creating or editing diagram
geometry, undo integration, driving the GUI. All explicitly out of
scope per the discussion on #162.

## Two entry points, both built and tested

- `qelectrotech --run script.js project.qet` -- headless/CI.
- Projet > "Exécuter un script..." -- an interactive macro against the
  currently open project. Export/save calls act on the project's file
  on disk (see QetScriptApi's class comment for why), so unsaved GUI
  edits aren't visible to the script; save first if that matters.

## Optional dependency, not a hard requirement

Qt::Qml is probed the same way QtPdf already is in this codebase:
QUIET, non-fatal, behind a QET_HAS_SCRIPTING compile definition. A
build without it compiles and links identically; the CLI flag and
menu action are simply absent (main.cpp) or compile to a clear
"not available" stderr message rather than silently disappearing
(qetscripting.cpp), matching the existing QtPdf pattern rather than
introducing a new one.

One real bug caught building this, not assumed away: my first pass
conditionally excluded the new source files from QET_SRC_FILES behind
`if(QET_HAS_SCRIPTING)` inside qet_compilation_vars.cmake -- but that
file is included before QET_HAS_SCRIPTING is set in the top-level
CMakeLists.txt, so the variable didn't exist yet at that point and the
files were silently never compiled, only caught by an undefined-symbol
link error. Fixed by following the QtPdf file's own precedent:
compile the files unconditionally, guard their Qt::Qml-dependent
content internally instead.

## Verified

Qt6, build clean, ctest 6/6.

- Headless: a script reading project/folio/element/conductor counts,
  calling exportInfo() and exportPdf() against a real project --
  correct JSON, a real single-page PDF confirmed with `file`.
  Error paths: a thrown script exception reports file:line:message and
  exit 1; missing script/project arguments exit 2 (matching
  CLIExport's own usage-error convention); a missing project file is
  reported and does not hang.
- Corpus: the same read-model script run against all 24 shipped
  example projects, 0 failures.
- GUI: "Exécuter un script..." opens a real file dialog filtered to
  *.js, running the picked script against the live open project
  produced the exact expected JSON export file, and the application
  was still fully responsive afterward.

/**
@brief The QetScriptApi class
The object a script sees as `qet` (bugtracker #162): a small,
deliberately read-mostly surface over an open project, for scripted
batch/CI work and human-written macros.
@b Scope, on purpose: this reads the model (folio count, titles, element
and conductor counts -- the same data the `--info` CLI export already
reports) and can trigger the same export/save operations the `--export-*`
CLI flags already do. It does not create or edit diagram geometry, does
not touch the undo stack, and does not drive the GUI. Those are all
explicitly out of scope for this first version; see the discussion on
bugtracker #162.
Export/save methods are thin wrappers around CLIExport::run() -- the
exact same, already-tested code path the `--export-*` flags use -- built
from the project's own file path, not the live in-memory instance. That
keeps this file free of any dependency on cli_export.cpp's internals,
at the cost of re-opening the project from disk for each call: fine for
the batch/CI use case this targets, and for the headless `--run` entry
point it's exactly what a second `--export-*` invocation would have
done anyway. A macro acting on unsaved GUI edits should call save()
first.
