docs: Update README and CHANGELOG with wiring implementation

Browse Source 
Documentation Updates:
- README: Updated Schematic Design section from 6 to 9 tools
- Added "Wiring & Connections" subsection highlighting new capabilities
- Documented automatic pin discovery with rotation support
- Listed smart routing options (direct, orthogonal)
- Added net label management features
- CHANGELOG: Added Phase 1 wiring system entry with complete feature list

New Features Documented:
- add_schematic_connection with auto pin discovery
- add_schematic_net_label with orientation control
- WireManager and PinLocator implementation

- `export_3d` - Generate 3D models (STEP/VRML)
- `export_bom` - Produce bill of materials
### Schematic Design (6 tools)
**Now fully functional with DYNAMIC SYMBOL LOADING!** (Fixed in v2.1.0 - see Issue #26)
### Schematic Design (9 tools)
**Now fully functional with DYNAMIC SYMBOL LOADING + INTELLIGENT WIRING!** (Fixed in v2.1.0 - see Issue #26)
**Component Placement:**
- `create_schematic` - Initialize new schematic from template
- `load_schematic` - Open existing schematic
- `add_schematic_component` - Place symbols with automatic dynamic loading from KiCad libraries
- `add_schematic_wire` - Connect component pins
- `list_schematic_libraries` - List symbol libraries
- `export_schematic_pdf` - Export schematic PDF
**Major Enhancement:** Now supports **ALL ~10,000 KiCad symbols** through dynamic loading! Specify any `library` and `type` (e.g., `"library": "MCU_ST_STM32F1", "type": "STM32F103C8Tx"`) and the system automatically:
- Searches KiCad symbol libraries
- Injects symbol definition into your schematic
- Creates cloneable template instance
- Places component seamlessly
**Wiring & Connections:** ⭐ NEW in v2.1.0!
- `add_schematic_wire` - Create wires between points with customizable stroke
- `add_schematic_connection` - **Auto-connect pins with intelligent routing** (direct, orthogonal)
- `add_schematic_net_label` - Add net labels (VCC, GND, signals) with orientation control
- `connect_to_net` - Connect component pins to named nets
Fallback to 13 static templates (R, C, L, LED, etc.) when dynamic loading unavailable.
**Major Enhancements:**
1. **Dynamic Symbol Loading** - Access to **ALL ~10,000 KiCad symbols**! Specify any `library` and `type` (e.g., `"library": "MCU_ST_STM32F1", "type": "STM32F103C8Tx"`) and the system automatically:
- Searches KiCad symbol libraries
- Injects symbol definition into your schematic
- Creates cloneable template instance
- Places component seamlessly
- Fallback to 13 static templates (R, C, L, LED, etc.) when needed
2. **Intelligent Wiring System** - Professional schematic wiring with automation:
- **Automatic pin discovery** - rotation-aware (0°, 90°, 180°, 270°)
- **Smart routing** - direct lines or orthogonal (right-angle) paths
- **Net label management** - local, global, and hierarchical labels
- **S-expression precision** - guaranteed KiCad format compliance
### UI Management (2 tools)
- `check_kicad_ui` - Check if KiCAD is running
