feat(schematic): add list_symbol_pins to read pins from symbol libraries

Adds list_symbol_pins and batch_list_symbol_pins: read a symbol's pin
number/name/type/local-position straight from the .kicad_sym libraries,
without placing it on a schematic. Fills a gap in library_symbol.py
(which can search/list symbols and read properties but not pins) and
complements get_schematic_pin_locations (placed-symbol coords only).

- python/commands/symbol_pins.py: SymbolPinCommands (stateless)
- src/tools/library-symbol.ts: tool wrappers; registry 'symbol_pins' category
- python/kicad_interface.py: import + instantiate + dispatch routes
- tests/test_symbol_pins.py: 12 unit tests (MagicMock loader; no system KiCad)

"""
Symbol pin discovery commands.
Read-only tools for inspecting a symbol's pins straight from the KiCad symbol
libraries, without needing a schematic loaded. Useful as a pre-flight step before
placing components and wiring nets (e.g. discover pin numbers/names before
connect_to_net). Complements ``get_schematic_pin_locations`` (which reports pin
coordinates only *after* a symbol has been placed on a schematic).
Tools:
- list_symbol_pins: pins for one symbol, read straight from the library file
- batch_list_symbol_pins: pins for many symbols in one call (+ body bounding box)
