Eugene Mikhantyev 9b1024a8f3 chore: enable strict mypy checks and fix pre-commit mypy hook
Add type annotations to all previously untyped functions and remove 9
suppressed error codes (call-arg, assignment, return-value, operator,
has-type, dict-item, misc, list-item, annotation-unchecked) by fixing
the underlying type issues.

Add [[tool.mypy.overrides]] with ignore_missing_imports for KiCAD-specific
modules (pcbnew, sexpdata, skip, cairosvg, kipy, PIL) so the pre-commit
mypy hook passes in its isolated venv. Add types-requests and pytest to
additional_dependencies in .pre-commit-config.yaml.

Also fixes several real bugs uncovered by stricter checks: incorrect static
calls to instance methods in swig_backend, wrong return type on get_size,
missing value param in BoardAPI.place_component, variable shadowing in
kicad_process.py, unqualified LibraryManager reference in kicad_interface,
and missing top-level Path import.

"""
Freerouting autoroute integration for KiCAD MCP Server.
Exports the board to Specctra DSN format, runs Freerouting CLI,
and imports the routed SES file back into the board.
Supports two execution modes:
- Direct: java -jar freerouting.jar (requires Java 21+)
- Docker: docker run eclipse-temurin:21-jre (requires Docker)
