e4fa774eda fix: Phase 2 - DRC API fix and JLCPCB documentation restructure (#33, #34, #43)
Phase 2 medium-priority fixes addressing three issues:

Issue #33 - DRC violations API broken in KiCAD 9.0:
- Reimplemented get_drc_violations() to use run_drc() internally
- run_drc uses kicad-cli which is stable across KiCAD versions
- Maintains backward compatibility while fixing GetDRCMarkers() issue
- Added documentation to KNOWN_ISSUES.md
- Returns violations in original format by parsing kicad-cli JSON output

Issue #34 - JLCPCB API documentation misleading:
- Restructured README and JLCPCB_USAGE_GUIDE.md
- Now leads with JLCSearch public API (no authentication required)
- Moved official JLCPCB API to "Advanced" section with clear requirements
- Clarified that official API requires enterprise account + order history
- Makes it easier for new users to get started

Issue #43 - JLCPCB part count documentation inaccurate:
- Updated all "100k+" references to "2.5M+" (accurate catalog size)
- Updated download time estimates to 40-60 minutes
- Updated expected database size to 1-2 GB
- Clarified 100-part pagination limit in JLCSearch API

Documentation changes:
- README.md: Updated JLCPCB integration section
- docs/JLCPCB_USAGE_GUIDE.md: Complete restructure with 3 approaches
- docs/KNOWN_ISSUES.md: Added DRC fix documentation

All changes improve user experience and documentation accuracy.
