fix: Resolve template mapping bug in dynamic symbol loading

Critical Bug Fixes:
1. Changed get_or_create_template() return type to tuple (template_ref, needs_reload)
2. Added automatic schematic reload after dynamic loading
3. Replaced hasattr() checks with symbol iteration (handles special characters like +)
4. Added template_exists() helper function
5. Fixed template lookup to check multiple potential reference formats

Issues Resolved:
- Multiple components of same type can now be added after dynamic loading
- Power symbols with special characters (+3V3, +5V) work correctly
- Template references with library prefix are properly detected
- Schematic object stays in sync with file after dynamic injections

Testing:
-  Power symbols: 4/4 loaded (VCC, GND, +3V3, +5V)
-  Components: 4/4 placed (R, R, C, LED)
-  Connections: 8/8 created
-  Special character handling (+3V3, +5V) working

Technical Details:
- hasattr() fails with attribute names containing special characters
- Must iterate symbols and check Reference.value directly
- Schematic reload required after S-expression injection
- Template name formats: _TEMPLATE_R, _TEMPLATE_power_VCC, _TEMPLATE_Device_R

Addresses template mapping issues found during Phase 2 power net testing
