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.

- ✅ Windows fully supported
- ✅ macOS experimental support
- ✅ Platform-agnostic path handling (XDG spec)
- ✅ Auto-detection of KiCAD installation

### Infrastructure 🏗️
- ✅ GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline
- ✅ Pytest framework with 20+ tests
- ✅ Pre-commit hooks (Black, MyPy, ESLint)
- ✅ Automated Linux installation script
- ✅ Enhanced npm scripts

### IPC API Migration Prep 🚀
- ✅ Comprehensive migration plan (30 pages)
- ✅ Backend abstraction layer (800+ lines)
- ✅ Factory pattern with auto-detection
- ✅ SWIG backward compatibility wrapper
- ✅ IPC backend skeleton ready

### Documentation 📚
- ✅ Updated README (Linux installation)
- ✅ CONTRIBUTING.md guide
- ✅ Linux compatibility audit
- ✅ IPC API migration plan
- ✅ Session summaries
- ✅ Platform-specific config templates

## Files Changed

- 27 files created
- ~3,000 lines of code/docs
- 8 comprehensive documentation pages
- 20+ unit tests
- 5 abstraction layer modules

## Next Steps

- Week 2: IPC API migration (project.py → component.py → routing.py)
- Migrate from deprecated SWIG to official IPC API
- JLCPCB/Digikey integration prep
