119f1dfc16 feat: Extend IPC backend with 21 commands and hybrid footprint placement 
- Add IPC handlers for zone operations (add_copper_pour, refill_zones)
- Add IPC handlers for board operations (add_board_outline, add_mounting_hole, get_layer_list)
- Add IPC handlers for component operations (rotate_component, get_component_properties)
- Add IPC handlers for net operations (delete_trace, get_nets_list)
- Implement hybrid footprint placement (SWIG library loading + IPC placement)
- Extend create_schematic to handle filename, title, projectName params
- Update documentation for IPC backend status and known issues

319473b1d8 feat: Implement IPC backend for real-time UI synchronization 
Add KiCAD IPC API backend using kicad-python library for real-time
communication with KiCAD 9.0+. Changes now appear instantly in KiCAD
UI without manual reload.

Key changes:
- Implement IPCBackend and IPCBoardAPI classes for IPC communication
- Auto-detect IPC availability and fall back to SWIG when unavailable
- Route existing commands (route_trace, add_via, place_component, etc.)
  through IPC automatically when available
- Add transaction support for proper undo/redo
- Add socket path auto-detection for Linux (/tmp/kicad/api.sock)

New commands:
- get_backend_info: Check which backend is active

Supported IPC operations:
- Board: set_size, get_board_info, save
- Routing: route_trace, add_via, add_net
- Components: place, move, delete, list
- Text: add_text, add_board_text

SWIG backend is now deprecated and will be removed when KiCAD 10.0
drops SWIG support.

Requires: kicad-python>=0.5.0, KiCAD 9.0+ with IPC enabled
