feat: add add_schematic_text and list_schematic_texts tools

Browse Source 
Adds two new MCP tools for working with free-form text annotations
(SCH_TEXT elements) in KiCad schematics:

- add_schematic_text: place a text note with optional angle, font size,
  bold/italic, and justification
- list_schematic_texts: list all text annotations with optional
  case-insensitive substring filter

Includes WireManager.add_text / list_texts using _text_insert + sexpdata,
handler dispatch in KiCADInterface, TypeScript tool definitions, registry
entry, reference doc updates, and 30 unit tests.

## Text Annotations (2 tools)
### add_schematic_text
Add a free-form text annotation (note, heading, documentation string) directly on the schematic canvas. Text annotations have no electrical significance — they are purely visual. For electrically meaningful labels, use `add_schematic_net_label` instead.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| ------------- | ------------ | -------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| schematicPath | string | Yes | Path to the .kicad_sch file |
| text | string | Yes | Text content to display |
| position | array [x, y] | Yes | Position in schematic mm coordinates |
| angle | number | No | Rotation angle in degrees (default: 0) |
| fontSize | number | No | Font size in mm (default: 1.27 — KiCad standard) |
| bold | boolean | No | Bold text (default: false) |
| italic | boolean | No | Italic text (default: false) |
| justify | string | No | `left` \| `center` \| `right` (default: `left`) |
### list_schematic_texts
List all free-form text annotations in the schematic. Optionally filter by a substring of the text content.
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
| ------------- | ------ | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| schematicPath | string | Yes | Path to the .kicad_sch file |
| text | string | No | Case-insensitive substring filter — only return matching texts |

| bold | `true` / `false` |
