fix: replace kicad-skip mutation with sexpdata in delete_schematic_wire

kicad-skip's write() serializes from original parsed data, silently
discarding in-memory _elements mutations. Switch to the same sexpdata
approach used by add_wire: parse, find matching wire, delete the entry,
write back. Also adds WireManager.delete_wire() static method.
