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.

export_netlist was returning "Unknown command" because no Python handler
existed. generate_netlist was timing out (30s) due to an O(nets × components
× pins) wire-graph algorithm with a new PinLocator instantiated per net.
Both handlers now delegate to `kicad-cli sch export netlist`:
- export_netlist: new handler; writes KiCad XML / Spice / Cadstar / OrcadPCB2
to the caller-supplied outputPath. Added schematicPath parameter to the TS
tool definition (was absent, making file export impossible).
- generate_netlist: replaces the slow wire-graph with kicad-cli + XML parse;
returns the same {components, nets} JSON the TS handler already expected.
Also adds _find_kicad_cli_static() so both handlers share CLI discovery
without depending on ExportCommands (which requires a loaded pcbnew board).
Cleaned up generate_netlist schema in tool_schemas.py (removed outputPath and
format fields the handler never used), updated MCP tool descriptions and
SCHEMATIC_TOOLS_REFERENCE.md to clearly distinguish the two tools.
26 unit tests added covering parameter validation, subprocess mocking,
format mapping, XML→JSON parsing, and error/timeout propagation.

Four tools added in this branch had no docs coverage. Add entries to
SCHEMATIC_TOOLS_REFERENCE.md with parameter tables, response field
tables, and usage notes. Update section tool counts (Net Analysis 4→5,
Validation 3→6).

- add_schematic_net_label: document new optional componentRef/pinNumber
snap-to-pin mode, labelType/orientation params, response fields
(actual_position, snapped_to_pin), and updated position to optional
- connect_to_net: document new response fields (pin_location,
label_location, wire_stub)
- get_schematic_pin_locations: update cross-reference to reflect that
direct pin snapping is now available in add_schematic_net_label

Add Prettier as a dev dependency with .prettierrc.json config and
.prettierignore. Hook added via mirrors-prettier in pre-commit config.
All TypeScript, JSON, Markdown, and YAML files auto-formatted.
