docs(engines): template on shared services and a determinism rule

New engines start from the shared test kit (the template's tests are a
one-line EngineContractTests subclass) and the host APIs, so they don't
re-derive geometry reading, work areas or validator tolerances.
BENCH-RULES.md now forbids clocks, unseeded randomness and environment
variables from influencing placement (budgets count work; wall time only
through the host's cancellation token) and lists the kit as read-only.
Build-Engines.ps1 deploys only OpenNest.Engine.* folders, and
New-Engine.ps1 -IncludeBuildFiles copies the kit.

## Tests and scoring
- `Engine.Testing/` is the shared, read-only test kit supplied beside engine folders in
bench copies. Reference it for shapes, job construction, layout assertions and inherited
engine contract tests; do not copy or edit it during an engine optimization run.
- Placement must be deterministic: no clocks, unseeded randomness or environment variables
may influence placement. Budgets count work. Wall time may stop work only through the
host's cancellation token. Diagnostics must not affect placement decisions.
- Keep the starter tests in `tests/` and keep them passing. Add tests; do not weaken,
skip or delete existing ones. If you believe an existing test is wrong, leave it and explain
why in your report.
